I truly appreciate it. I’ve been caught up in the spirit of SOBCon even though I wasn’t there and everyone is so generous with sharing what they learned. This clarifies things a lot... an interesting discussion. Hi Chris

This clarifies things a lot… an interesting discussion.

Some people feel there is too much emphasis on the medium (newspaper article, magazine article, blog post) and not on the content in the article or post. Some people picture bloggers as a nerd sitting in front of a computer screen in their pj's drinking a cup of something with caffeine. Maybe the word blogger or blogging might just drop and change to writing... but I think the word blog is going to be with us for a while. I did notice that many of the folks (bloggers!) at SOBCon referred to their blog as a website rather than a blog. Since I have been back, I've noticed how many more websites are actually put up just on wordpress software for easy content management. So maybe the word blog will switch to website and blogger/blogging to writer/writing. Who knows! Twitter and Twittering was mentioned a lot during the conference too, and I'm not sure how mainstream that is yet!! Hope that clarifies! Chris Hi Yvonne:

As someone who wasn't there, would you mind expanding on the context of - “The word blog will fade into the background” please. I'd be interested to hear more about this. Is it just the word or the whole concept of blogging he is referring to? Hi Chris

The ones that stick with it may find that their blog evolves over time into something else. It's hard to predict the future, isn't it? @ Jeff – I enjoy reading Brian’s concept of an “authority site” too.
