   The golden era of blogging is yet to come. Everyone else who would rather use a different mode of expression/platform have now moved to various "social media" platforms. Those who truly want to write and express themselves will continue to blog. Only good content, good writing will survive and make an impact.

      Blogs (websites that chronologically presents content along with a feed to follow and keep track of things remotely) can better withstand an environment laden with censorship and algorithmic manipulations. Not to mention the demise of traditional media.

         @lohang Personally I am hoping for the return of a real website. I can live without all the bells and whistles if a blogging platform and I believe that if you have content worth reading you should be willing to go through the effort of coding it. But I am evil like that

            @whistlewright I like that. I've been toying with the idea of going back to one of those sites to publish things I write. I think it will liberate writers / content creators by giving them time and space to think; to publish slowly prepared, good stuff.

            @whistlewright @lohang I think that #wiki software would help to bring about better sites and a better web in the long term. Blogs don't do enough, in my opinion, to enable and encourage owners to integrate and refine their works, improving the quality of their sites and the web as a whole.
