The arguments that blogs are dead usually center around several key points. 1. The growth of high-traffic, high-profile, multi-author blogs destroys any hope for the average individual blogger to be discovered and gain any meaningful audience. 2. Newer forms of social media, like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr make the need for personal blogs obsolete. 3. The never-ending comment spam, coupled with comments from obnoxious readers, simply require too much energy and time. These observations are completely accurate based on my experience with blogs and the Internet.
