Bob Caswell: Are Blogs Relevant in the New “Statusphere” World?

  • briansolis · 8 months ago
    Hi Bob, interesting thoughts...this might also help stir ideas and opportunities: http://is.gd/rWjH (personally, I believe that a market for thoughtful articles and posts will always exist...what changes is how we connect them to the very people we wish to reach.)

    Thanks for visiting, Brian!

    Yeah, I agree that thoughtful articles will always exist (but maybe less in the aggregate?)... it's just where to find and how to connect. And even in the age of Twitter/Facebook/FriendFeed, the technology is still woefully inadequate, in my opinion:

    And thanks for the link! Missed that one back when it came out a month ago... great insight.

    The other thing I should mention is that there (to me) is a big difference between "thoughtful articles and posts" and many personal blogs. If we're talking TechCrunch, yeah, it's one thing... But so many blogs are just the quick thoughts of one person, and that seems to be what the Statusphere might replace.
