On Blogging

Are we now approaching the phase in the internet world when blogs would gradually start phasing themselves out?

Here's an article that caught my eye.

I also remember having had a bitter fight over a Google Talk window with a senior from BHU on blogging. He somehow felt that it was for people with an awful lot of time and nothing much else to do.

Obviously, i don't agree. But there are certain aspects that bloggers have to be careful about.
The issue is that of waning interest. Just like in school, one is taught to write a fantastic first paragraph in the essay, similarly every blog post needs to be catchy. A diificult task for even the best.

However, there is a shortcut. Be genuine. Be true. Be clear. Voila, you have the make up of a good blogger.
