Blogs are Dead, eh?
- Wired Sez “Kill Your Blog”… I’m Not Dead Yet (and neither are you)
- Maybe Blogging is Dead After All (or our conceptualization is)
- Wandering the (not so) dead blogs
Is it still a niche activity? NMC 2008 Organization Survey (114 organizations represented), less than 20% host blogging service, a quarter refer to external services, 20% do not support at all, 20% rely on what is in their CMS, not a significant change from 2007 survey.
