Saw a link to ‘Bring back personal blogging‘ from Jason Kottke, and his quote struck me:
I mean, absolutely. But…this is also the 78th time I’ve read this exact article since 2007 and I’m beginning to think it’s not going to happen.
I mean, there’s nobody to bring it back, which I think is wonderful. But what’s “not going to happen?”
It’s not like all our friends had their own sites and blogs to begin with. Social media platforms just made it super easy to post photos and write text, and that was fine for a minute.
But then we followed 1284 friends and things got muddy real quick.
