I am supplementing my new blog with you tube video and I seriously urge you to consider this – I know it’s a big step but remember when writing a blog was the most audacious thing you had ever done?

Things evolve, and so must we.
Your thoughts welcome.

We should have a forum or something to discuss these issues.

I say, fuck 'em. What do they know. They're wrong more often than they're right - plus that kind of cynical bullshit is just depressing to read. And anyway, you are spot on about sex bloggers. I think people make the same mistake when talking about blogging that they do when talking about porn - neither is a monolith. There's simply too much variation out there to make grandiose, over-arching statements about all of it.

No offense meant to any bridge & tunnel trendoid hipsters in the crowd here!

Saying blogging culture is dead reminds me of how I so often heard the refrain ‘print is dead’ with the advent of the web. Maybe blogging will no longer attract people who set up a blog as a way to meet other people - MySpace is better suited to that. Blogging will however, continue to function as a very public place for people to find their voices through their writing - including but beyond the ‘sex ghetto’ as well.

A blog so closely resembles a journal in ways that vlogs, podcasts and such never can. I have considered podcasting but given that our voice is as unique as our fingerprint, I choose not to have that kind of exposure. There is something in the act of writing that I doubt other media could capture. Our 'little sex ghetto' nurtures a different kind of expression, a subtlety unique to writing. A strength comes from that investment. Best, Magdelena Dacia thankyou, my sentiments entirely. A blog so closely resembles a journal in ways that vlogs, podcasts and such never can.

I had come to some of the same conclusions on my own concerning the state of blogging today. From my own experience, I would agree with you point for point on your list of motivations for blogging, the reasons for remaining text-only, and the ability to create and post, discreetly, from nearly anywhere. Nail on the head. Well said!
