There was in interesting article in Wired some months ago about blogs  
being so 2004 (I'm too lazy to drag it out of my bookmarks, but I'm  
sure it's easily found), and why they were now considered useless as a  
communication medium. Can't say that my views are any different - but  
for some, blogs are A New Experience, so they won't die anytime soon,  
even if the readers have long lost interest.
