Hugh asks a good question in this post....what's next? it's good to see him thinking ahead because blogging will change as more people begin to see the values in the medium and more people begin to blog. however, i am not certain blogging is close to a tipping point just yet....sure, technorati is tracking over 5 million blogs, but the medium is still relatively under utilized....the majority of blogs are personal journals of thoughts/feelings that aren't necessarily directed to any one audience...while there is personal value in capturing feelings on line...blogs can/should be much more than a group of random thoughts/pictures...blogs have the ability to greatly change the manner in which people communicate....blogs break the push communication method and creates a pull enviroment...like a magnet, people are pulled toward good blogs providing the ability to establishing a community....the community can be less than 3 and as big as the blogosphere....the topics within the community and the processes used for communicaton are only limited by the imagination of the bloggers.... so Hugh, don't get bored just yet....use your creativity and take blogging in directions unheard of....there are several more iterations of blogging before it gets boring....somehow, i imagine you will still be leading the charge 2 or 3 years from now.... 11:42:22 PM
