While Facebook and Twitter have their pluses, they can't handle a thoughtful essay. And I see FB and Twitter dovetailing with blogging. The difference I'm seeing is a weird phenomenon where readers read my posts then go to Twitter, Facebook or email to respond instead of commenting on the site.

I've only really been aware of the blog world for about a year, and I think I feel like there's more and more of it as I keep discovering more and more of it. <br /><br />That's an interesting perspective. Do you find that people don't even read blogs anymore? Because that's a whole lot less of a commitment than writing one.Barefoot and Marriedhttp://barefootnmarried.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-15061606149267182652010-06-16T15:18:20.565-04:002010-06-16T15:18:20.565-04:00It seems blogs are shuttering all over the place. ...It seems blogs are shuttering all over the place. I've been saying this for a month or two but I think blogging is on the wane and the only people left standing will be those who have been around for years. <br /><br />Facebook and Twitter are more appealing, take less time and have other qualities blogs just don't have.<br /><br />Last year I lost 9 readers who all shut down their blogs and went to Facebook. <br /><br />Many of us have taken down BlogHer ads as the revenue dropped significantly. (4 that I know of personally) BH claims it's because they didn't have a lot of ads but I think it's because readership is down and it shows up in the checks we receive.<br /><br />I'm coming up on 4 years of blogging. Frankly? I'm not sure I have anything left to say.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361775888847203043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-10950278954673922412010-06-15T23:36:39.253-04:002010-06-15T23:36:39.253-04:00It keeps hitting me.
