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
