More folks are getting regular domain names for their blogs, names that do not include the word "blog". If they are hooked up with blog directories, Technorati, et al, folks specifically looking for "blog" will find them, plus anyone familiar with keywords is going to put "blog" (or some variant) in there for the search engines. But I could be way wrong - LOL Not to rain on your parade, but I think it will fade. More folks are getting regular domain names for their blogs, names that do not include the word “blog”.

But 'social publishing' is just so long and hard to say :). Of course, I "would" think that the term blog is going to be around awhile (since I have so many domain names). They (the experts) might call it 'social publishing,' but I think meaningful blog-related domain names will most likely keep their value - regardless of the terms attached. I've had a lot of bid activity around the domain blogRN.com. For obvious reasons, there's a few people interested. I'm just not willing to give it for a few hundred dollars (at least not yet).

Personally, for the sake of my blog, I hope not. But I can see their point.

Web entrepreneurs have no clue as to what it costs to develop and scale such a web application. I should bid a few million dollars with a few years estimated for the time.
