Would an increase in participation in microblogging lead to reduction in blogging?
VC Freak, Kol Tregaskes, Arjun and 10 other people liked this
I think so, but I see some kind of marriage between the two.
- Mike Lewis
That's happening already, at least since the mass-adoption of Twitter. But I agree with Mike: people are blogging less "quick things", using microblogging for that, and blogging just "extensive thoughts"...
- Marcos Marado
I didn't see anyone quitting blogging just for twittering, but I saw a lot of ppl started tumbling instead of blogging... I guess it's the natural evolution of the concept... ps. Is Tumbling the same as microblogging? Or micro is just twitter, jaiku, pownce, plurk, etc?
- Alex Barredo
whether it be on paper or virtual there will always be various lengths to reading. From light magazines to heavy books, blogging and micro-blogging will/can co-exist...
- Anthony Farrior
Don't think so, microblogging's beauty is its 140 word cap. If u wanna share a really deep insight with well proven points to back it up, u gonna need more than that.
- mark
yes, i see people discussing this very topic often. microblogging IS blogging, and better than blogging as you often get an immediate response (plurk is brilliant for that instant gratification factor, why write a blog post about your day when you can say it and get responses from the world in a matter of minutes?
- Darren Daz Cox
I think blogging will elvolve to a more 'serious' or at least well thought out and crafted genre and 'haircut' blogs will end up as plurks or tweets etc
- Darren Daz Cox
...Perhaps w/ open source micro-blogs (like Identica). When hosting your own micro-blog (or co-hosting as a profitable service) 'picks-up' then standard blogs (and sites like blogger, livejournal) will (imo) have reduced exposure.
- Czar
I use microblogging to get an easily understandable idea into the open and get quick feedback, or to share things that might be useful to others. I use blogging if I want to argue a point and get more considered feedback. Of course increasingly there's audio and video blogging too...
- David Sim
I really don't see that happening in the circles I run in..........
- ChaCha Fance
seems that microblogging apps re-shaped the way we blog, not reduce the time we devote to blogging.
- Jansen Lu
I think it shoulder be a concern on format as it is the quality and value if what is being created - and if the madium is helping or hurting that.
- Tony
yes
- Wayne Sutton
Not sure if it does, at least not in my case. It's inspiring me with more ideas.
- Tamar Weinberg
Only if blogging isn't cool with you dating other people, then it might get messy unless you two talk it through in a public place - I would definitely pick up the check.
- Tony
Is the situation getting more serious now? compared with July 08.
- Jansen Lu
Not sure, they could certainly merge, for example I'm trying to integrate Twitter (as well as FF) into my blog, so I can continue using the likes of Twitter and FF but also get back into blogging.

# # Modding: PunBB mods are generally installed the Hard Way by editing some source files and running an installer PHP script to make any necessary database changes. There's a wide variety of mods available at PunRes, but not all of them will work immediately since installer scripts have a hard-coded max version and people seem to rarely update that. Luckily, any mod made for the 1.2.x line should work for any 1.2.x version of PunBB, you just have to edit the max version in the install_mod.php to match what you have.

How do you define "social media" as opposed to "social networking"? Have you noticed that the first term is becoming ubiquitous while the second term is not used much anymore?
Sharon McPherson, Alex Barredo and Jonathon D. Colman liked this
I usually say that 'social networking' or 'social networks' are the 'private side' (facebook, linkedin, etc) , and 'social media' the 'public side' (digg, delicious, flickr, youtube, twitter, friendfeed)
- Alex Barredo
Great point, Laura, something I've been thinking about as I'm helping my organization write up a social media policy. I first learned the term "social media" from Beth K. and agree that "social network" and, esp. "social networking" are going by the wayside. Another question to throw on the heap: how do you refer to a place where one finds social media? A social media "presence"? An "outlet"? Something else altogether? God help us if it's "social media network" -- arrrrgh!
- Jonathon D. Colman
You mean like a place where an organization might bring in all their social media RSS feeds? How about a "social media hub"? Although I suppose that could be ambiguous also!
- Laura Norvig
I would interpret 'social media' as being either an individual item of or a collective noun for an information delivery technology or platform e.g a podcast, a blog, RSS, etc. and 'Social networking' is something that happens as a result of infornation sharing using social media
- Tony Molloy
I rather like danah boyd's definition of a social network site: We define social network sites as web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and (3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system.

- Fitzgerald Steele
what's interesting to me is how people define the word 'media'. I was originally thinking of it as mediums that go beyond words so, photos, videos - hence flickr and youtube as 'social media'. There is also the sense of media in its common use as 'news'. However, there is another thread on FF, which I can't find now, that defines media as 'the medium in which people communicate' hence blogs, email, discussion groups are all social media.

I think she didn't want to name any newspapers like the NYT because her constituency sees them as part of the "liberal media elite", which she has railed on a few times. Her gut said to not name any and to avoid irking those she didn't mention, but the end result was worse.

There are three things every startup can benifit from and if you have at least any two of these, it puts you in a pretty good position: 1) Be the first to market, 2) Be the best, 3) Be the most unique. Again, if you have any two of these, you are in a good position. All three? Sweet. None? :(

I think it looks better and will work better. I think the most important thing is the dedicated tab for applications, which will help to combat the Myspacing of the Facebook profiles.

yes. but admins should be able to enliven rooms with feeds, BUT make the feeds reside only in those rooms. If you see what I mean. The way it is now, if an admin sticks in a feed to a room, then most ppl will get every update on that feed on their main, er, personal stream (sorry-- it's late...)
- john conroy
The mass migration from twitter is happening naturally as twitter's fail whale spews users out to other more robust services, like FriendFeed. We've been watching this for some months now; most recently, when the @replies was turned off. IM, track and gTalk integration pains have also forced users to move away from twitter to FF.
