Social networks kill the blog?

More and more often speak of the end of the blog, now supplanted by social networks among which Facebook, Twitter and FrienFeed. But who are these bloggers? The film will have them painted as well as figures without social life, nerds fat men who never go home and eat snacks for lunch and dinner, but today few believe in this stereotype, because you have reached the realization that in reality behind a blog you can hide anyone.

Although there are labels. Each of us is or might be a blogger, an ordinary person, but to manage and run their own blog takes time, money and research content. So that in the information landscape will recognize the figure of the blogger has gone a bit 'of time. The online journals have dedicated sections on TV and you begin to see the first live action programs that are the leaders of many websites.

But also, in a period of strong mutations in the blogosphere. Recently I happened to read the thoughts of some bloggers that I follow, focusing on the transformation of blogging, especially after the growth of Facebook. Among those impressed me to maestroalberto, which does an excellent job of selection and review of resources, applications and useful services on the web.

Just over a month ago, when the site is now up to 5000 post, he stopped to take stock of the situation by stating that "with the advent of the Internet social network has become rarer as the share is even dispersion ". And then: "Behind a blog is always a person with weaknesses, with his affections, with its unavoidable commitments." It is not only the expansion of Facebook or Twitter to create headaches for bloggers.

On the pages of ilfattoquotidiano. Enzo Frenna of it has dealt delledifficoltà economic bloggers (pure) and from one day to cast doubt on whether to open or not your site, since the incomes are low. Recent reflection of Luca Conti (known for the blog pandemic) that identifies the changes to him unconvincing.

"Two things of all: the desire to experience first hand to document and to consume media instead of producing them." From what is apparent, who has a blog and did not gain such that the sole task of writing on the internet, unless there is a solid structure that invests money behind the project, he spends his time thinking about whether to hold still open site or not.

All the while the social network with a strong power of attraction capture millions of users in their network. In my opinion, however, the blog will not die and will have happier times. And do you think?
