That seems to be the new mantra for the main stream media which is left with its mouth gaping, wondering how this alternative form of media is giving it some competition.
From analyzing why people write their own stories online for everyone to read to why blog tags are so famous, to Time magazine dedicating its Person of the year to ‘you’ (meaning us) who sit staring at our computer monitors, typing away in this virtual world, to mainstream media websites having a mandatory blog section (From BBC, Washington Post to our very own CNN-IBN, Times of India), blogging is becoming quite popular.
From technologists to sociologists, all are trying to understand this booming new virtual world which started with websites, emails, chatrooms, forums, e-commerce and e-education. Each development was hailed as the ‘next big thing’. In that line, christened as Web 2.0, this new wave called blogging has become the latest craze.
As more and more people bridge the technological divide, the blogosphere is set to grow. A case in point is our very own O3, where so many bloggers have joined in the last year or so.
As the rule goes, everything which goes up, has to come down, so will the enthusiasm about blogging. But its too soon to ask the question-when? Till then we can all blog away to glory.
