Hello just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

Blogging has come a long way. From personal diaries to news reporting to money making machines to buzz marketing for corporate bloggers. And it’s still an ongoing evolution that continues to threaten the monopoly of traditional media.

You’re right: where blogging is headed is more important than where it started.

Back in 1996 when I was doing business reports for a Hong Kong TV show, I interviewed some guy about the burdgeoning Internet. He was very enthusiastic about it of course, gushing about how it was “a new marketing channel.”

So when people talk of blogs as “a vehicle for marketing and branding” I roll my eyes as I did back then, and think: just another mute button to push, because the corporatisation of blogging will monetise, commoditise and homogenise it into redundancy. We saw the results with spam in email. Now we have spam comments, splogs, scrapers, paid posts. It’s depressing.

Will there be a spot left for the individual in all this, or will this means of self-expression be drowned out by all the noise?
