Future of blogging

The ability for anybody to have an idea, be able to type it up and then publish it online for the world to see it for free changed everything about publishing and the media. Along with the publishing component, the ability to subscribe to

the content via RSS, and have the ability to comment on it publicly, link back or even start your own blog was a watershed moment in the history of humanity and evolution of publishing. Some equate it with the advent of the printing press, while many in traditional print media wrote it off in an attempt to maintain their own credibility and professionalism. As blogging took hold, the ability to publish in images, audio and video pushed social media into many different directions and the content that was easiest to produce and publish replaced the not-so-easy task of putting your thoughts into words. Blogging was always hard, because writing is hard. Everyone is not a writer. Everyone is not a blogger.
