move to the next big thing - Prolific Programmer from IM

That's a when not if scenario. It'll usher in passive use and the internet's true migration will more or less be complete. However, social networks positioned properly will be at an advantage -- the utility play on the internet platform is something people haven't evolved to understand yet and that'll play a big part in the future. I think Twitter stands to survive more in this environment IF it plays its cards well versus something like Myspace or Facebook, which are not going to be as agile. - Patricia

I disagree that blogs are out of fashion. I just use mine differently now. It's got more of my musing, my favorite photos, etc. I view it as the center of my online existence, with everything else radiating out. - Karoli

I've gotta call BS. Blogs are not out of fashion; having one just no longer makes you unique or interesting; people who blog now are hardly pariahs; Huffington Post could IPO with just a blog site and they are growing; so more to the point, what will we do when twitter and FF no longer make us unique/cool techies. - James Watters

I don't know, I am behind fashion as I get most of my REAL news from blogs, some tips from twitter, and basically nothing from Facebook. Also does a lot of people I know. - Roland Hesz

Not sure "out of fashion" is a viable criteria for how we value or whether we use these 'places'. Blogs have always been mostly "one way" communications. Twitter, god love it, is a big old pipe that is 'all way' sorta, but FriendFeed (and to a much lesser extent, Facebook) have created a new kind of place that allows both many to many, one to one, one to many, many to one --- and discovery. The last bit is the key. Not sure it ever 'goes out of fashion' but perhaps evolves... what's next? is a better question. - Thom Kennon

I won't do anything, but you will probably end up in the deadpool :p - Mark

if Blogs are completely out of fashion why do you still have one ? - tony bland

Loic, nice photo. When are you coming to our Headquarters in Hood River? New Tweet5k in August. Still interested? Subscribe so I can DM. - Scott Zagarino

I believe blogs will return to being personal while news and aggregate sites will morph to survive. - LPH™ and his dog P™ from BuddyFeed

"blogs are completely out of fashion" is not the real situation. millions of blogs are written and read, they are not effected by face and twit. also they are in different leagues, not each other's rival. one for generally 2 way comminucation, the other for 1 way. - Enes TAYLAN

Not if, when... Question is what will Twitter and Facebook do? - Ben Newton

Just posted on Rubel's blog that I think blogs have a long way to go before they are out of fashion. There are very few plugins for customizing the user experience based on search terms, intent and various personalization schemes. When blogs reconfigure themselves to present what's important to me and we get sick of that, maybe it's time to move on. Or just do what everyone in the world is doing and stick everything in Facebook (that is going to be a nightmare to undo though). - Dave Evans
