Personal blogging is finished? Say it ain’t so
Instead, Boutin suggests posting messages on Facebook, Flickr and Twitter. That’s where writers can gain traction and attract larger audiences. That’s where the future of personal communication lies.
That may be so, but I still think there’s room for new voices in the blogsphere. Not all blogs are launched to attract million of viewers. Some bloggers are content with a loyal readership of a few hundred. Their posts are part of an ongoing dialogue about a given subject.
Some of the blogs I read probably don’t get more than a few hundred visits per month, if they’re lucky. But I enjoy them just the same. I’ll visit sites that cover the British music scene, professional tennis, database marketing, alternative fuel technologies, the Hadron Collider, and whatever else strikes my fancy.
These blogs won’t be found in the Technorati Top 100. But they are written by people who know their subjects and who bring a certain passion to their writing. Their posts provide value and deserve to be heard.
My advice to anyone who wants to start writing a blog is to just do it. Don’t be discouraged by cynics and pundits. All you need is a computer and an Internet connection. If your posts have any merit, people will find you.
