Comment Just another way of communicating (Score 1) 115
Blogs are just another way of communicating, like static web pages are, except blogs are 'faster' and more interactive.
Blogs are quite new, and it will take a while before they are popularly understood as well as say a telephone is understood as a communication mechanism.
However, by the time effective use of blogs is on its way to being commonly understood, the Next Big Thing in Internet based communication will be on the way in, and people will be grappling with the same questions.
BTW, the Next Big Thing will FINALLY be the 'semantic web', but will hopefully be named something OTHER THAN 'the semantic web' cuz that term sucks. It will be a melding of P2P, something similar to del.icio.us, instant messaging, etc. And it will be harder for people to advertize and spam, I hope.
And the domestication of the dog will continue unabated.
