Blogging is Dead. Long Live Blogging.
So this morning I ran across yet another “Is Blogging Dead?” post (on a blog, ironically). I think we’re up to, what, two a month on average now?
A consensus seems to be forming around the idea that blogging is plunging headlong into obsolescence due to the popularity of shorter, faster social media.
Blogging, in other words, is too slow. And blog posts are too long.
Those sound like pretty good reasons to keep Sotto Voce around.
Thanks for the encouragement, folks. Keep those “Death of Blogging” articles coming.

Man does not live by infomicrobursts alone. Keep the blog coming.
I figure if I’m doing it, it probably *is* dead, or at least circling the bowl. Then again, I’ve read articles suggesting:
* Marketing is dead
* Advertising is dead
* Television is dead
* Copywriting is dead
Naturally, more television is being consumed than ever, it’s showing more ads being produced by more agencies/digital agencies than the world has ever seen. And oh yeah — I’m still making a living as a copywriter.
I think it’s punditry that should be dead.

Thank you both! It’s kind of neat to think we’re old enough to be positively prehistoric. And if we keep it up long enough, by the time blogging becomes retro-cool — as it inevitably must — we’ll be able to tell people that not only were we blogging before blogging was cool, we were blogging before blogging became uncool.
Yeah. It’s dead. I didn’t read this. No one is interested.
Your comment moved me; I just decided to install a set of ’59 Cadillac tailfins on both my blogs.
@TC: I’ll spin some Bobby Darin to accompany.
@Scott K: welcome to SV! Your blog is most cool, daddy-o.
