Blogosfera moare?

The blogsophere is dying, apparently. The long tail of user-generated content, brimming with idiosyncrasy and experimentation – the great hope of the libertarian levelling ground promoted by the Web’s founding fathers – is petering out. The anecdotal 1% of content creators (versus the 99% of content consumers) is moving away from the more formal end of story-telling/reporting (a process that takes time to craft, link, illustrate and post) because they prefer to keep in touch using quick-fire, low-cost tools like Twitter and Facebook. The result is a ghost town – nay, a ghost metropolis – of blogs that are, well, dead.

O spune Aleks Krotoski(1) cu argumente, pe blogul BBC Digital Revolution citand si un articol al lui Charles Arthur. E vorba despre blogosfera lor, care este de mult matura. Ideea imi aduce aminte de teoria lui Costin, care afirma ca blogosfera nu exista (si in mare parte are dreptate).

Vestea buna e ca la noi blogosfera abia s-a nascut si cum suntem cu ani buni in urma Occidentului…

UPDATE

Rory Cellan-Jones , pe acelasi subiect :

The life-cycle of the mainstream media’s relationship with any new web phenomenon goes like this – ignorance, incomprehension, derision, hysteria, and finally boredom.

Then there was incomprehension, followed by derision, at the idea of anyone wanting to share their mundane thoughts, their daily activities, their prejudices, with the rest of the world – that after all was the job of the newspaper columnist. This is the stage of the cycle from which Twitter is just beginning to emerge.

Next, there is almost hysterical adoption of this shiny new idea, in newsrooms, board-rooms and think-tanks, all desperate not to miss the wave. Having instructed all of their journalists or executives or consultants onn the importance of blogging – or Facebook or Twitter – and then discovered that it is more time-consuming, complex and costly than first appeared, the establishment soon gets bored and starts casting around for the next big thing.
