According to Steve Rubel, the author of the Micropersuasion Blog, blogging feels old.
New sites like Posterous feel more like flow and where the web is going. Blogging begins to feel too slow and methodical in a world where apps like Tweetdeck bring real-time Twitter conversations right to our doorstep.
At the same time, however, it's important for people (and businesses) to create their own hubs and then control how they connect to the spokes.
But here's what might change:
Blogs could get shorter and more visual.
Blogs could connect automatically to social network hubs – without a lot of widgets.
These new lifestream blogs might focus more on daily links, observations and insights – rather than long-winded pseudo-magazine articles.
And they can serve as a primary launching point for how content is sent into social networks, with new items auto-posted on YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, Friendfeed and Facebook.
Everything about this is more alive, more vibrant, less pedantic. That's where Steve Rubel has already headed. And for the rest of us, I think it's the way things will evolve in 2010.
