Lolly, if I may say so your post is a very nice example of constructive-criticism. I've read reactions to Paul's post at other places but the tone has been pretty harsh. Let us accept it - Blogs, Micro-blogs, Communities, social-network everything is different and have got a different purpose and focus. If a guy wants to share his thoughts on his personal-diary there's no option but to choose a weblog. Looking forward to more enticing conversations on 'Blog till your Drop'. Daksh Hi Lolly,

I learnt about you from my friend Becky’s blog@customersrock. Lolly, if I may say so your post is a very nice example of constructive-criticism.

I’ve read reactions to Paul’s post at other places but the tone has been pretty harsh.

Let us accept it – Blogs, Micro-blogs, Communities, social-network everything is different and have got a different purpose and focus.

If a guy wants to share his thoughts on his personal-diary there’s no option but to choose a weblog.

Looking forward to more enticing conversations on ‘Blog till your Drop’.

Daksh

I'm impressed! nice post, it was funny the Pierre Boutin article caused a little storm around the office as well - I also think it's just nonsense... And that the best is that he's writing from the Wired blog... You manage to follow about 120 blogs on a daily basis..?

I think blogs will become a lot more interactive which will make conversations more lively easier to keep on top of as a result. Some blogs are setting up FriendFeed rooms where bloggers can debate certain topics relating to a blog / blog post which clearly shows that commenting on blogs need to be improved. Blogs need to evolve and I am pretty sure we will notice some interesting changes in the coming months... Hi Rax and Michael,

Sometimes I just feel like I want to get something off my chest so I blog about it.. but recently i've been tweeting more than I've been blogging.. why is that? It's true that I sometimes find the character limit on Twitter too restrictive to get my message across but by having those boundaries it's made me me a lot more direct and to the point because I've not got much space to say anything.. It swings in roundabouts I reckon but blogs are here to stay. The user who is going to get the most out of the whole social media experience is the user who has their pics on Flickr, a regularly used Facebook profile, a blog, a delicious page and twitter. Each of the above cater to different needs. Flickr - Catalogues my photos Delicious - My bookmarks Facebook - My friends Twitter - Having conversations and being part of the conversation. Blog - To post about what you want. Not forgetting.. Shozu - For my mobile life ;) Interesting points..

You raise some really valid points here - and I especially agree that whilst Twitter, Facebook and the like encourage a'blogging mentality', they're far from replacing the blogging platform as we know it. And that's from a new blogger! Thanks for the words of encouragement, Lolly!
