O Blogging Friends, Where Art Thou?
A couple of years ago, having a blog was priority to almost everyone who had a computer, was connected to the Internet, and wanted to make a difference by sharing their life and opinions. Nowadays, it seems like blogging has lost much of its charm and people have moved on to other website hosting services like Twitter, Facebook, etc.
I am not quite sure why the shift from one social network to the other took place and in a rather short period of time as well. I suspect that having a blog and making posts may have taken up too much time, while posting a tweet or an update on a Facebook page is done in a jiffy.
It makes me wonder though how that affects the quality of the contents and if it has any consequences on Social SEO – Backlinks and Profiles. Many people still rely on a good page ranking and search engine optimization in order to gain popularity and build up a decent amount of readship.
Many of my blogging friends have moved and I sure hope this is only temporary and they will eventually return to blogging, because the silence is becoming more and more deafening in 'Bloggerville' without them. :-)
