The business that is sprouting up around blogging is fascinating to me. I'm really interested in how people will be consuming information in the future. It's quite a phenomenon, in the online space, people are moving away from pictures and flash-bang to just text. With blogging, people are moving away from established content sources and bloggers are developing their own brand and their own following. It's gotten to the point where ads can be sold on blogs depending on their content.
Who would've known that online journals would become big business? Not for the people supplying the infrastructure, but for the people generating the content. (Ahem someone want to pay me for ad space here...?)
What's next? Where does all this go? This is a huge question I think, because I feel a change is coming...soon. It's kind of amazing, really. Remember when the internet was relatively new? Everyone and their mother had their own website. That kind of fizzled after awhile, and I'm not sure why. Too much upkeep? Got too annoying? Why did geocities eventually fall apart? What will become of blogging? Things I need to think about.
