Do you see yourselves blogging 10 years from now?

The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

Do you see yourselves blogging 10 years from now, in the same blog?

Putting it another way, how long do you see yourselves blogging? 3 years? 5? 15?

What if blogging becomes 'out of fashion' but 'nostalgic'? something like our postal service?

Totally! But maybe I won't be as gung-ho about it. And I agree with Anoop. I mean, who though that there would be micro blogging a few years ago?

Yes the world would need the latest updates and news of Omega Centauri!

No one but the Brainwave would do that!

Yes, Of course, if the blog world is still on!! With growing technology, may be the Blog will also change. But I would love to do this as long as it is possible.Smile

We have come a long way in expressing our views. It all started off with People's voice as a corner in leading newspapers where people used to write and still do so, to the editor and those are published... (may be not everyone's but yes it works still)

The medium has changed now. Vlogs have not really cought up coz Blogs themselves add give the versatility for people to add Posts as well as Videos.

What might change is the medium. It takes something within one's self to take a blog to a long innings. Pundit, one of the IndiBloggers is one who is into blogging for more than 10 years.

Well, been blogging since 1999.... That's already 11 years. So I guess I will be blogging till I die. :)

I doubt if "blogging" would become obsolete. Ppl have been writing for so many centuries now... Personal logs, diaries, journals etc. Only da medium of communication has varied. But writing's still da same. :-). 

And I guess, Internet might give way to something more potent in da future. And we'll find another way and another word for "blogging"

With the present situation, it is hard to see me living 10 years from now. This is because

1. Work pressure.

2. Stress.

3. Bad lifestyle.

Sakhi Shah

I don't think blogging is likely to become obsolete, rather I think it will become more famous. 

Definitely see myself blogging till for at least 10 years or so, and then, we'll see. :) If me and my interests change then things might change.

Blogging will evolve our a period of time. It might not be the same. It might be linked to publishing industry.

Already E-magazine & some of the new papers has blogging section, which is blogged by people hand picked by them. Maybe you might even have blogging e-magazine might be started by reputed media,  which means, more control might be brought in.

Blogging is here to stay, but you will have different version of it. Its just like internet, what we now have is not the same we had about 15 years before.

Btw, have written a brief in my blog about future of publishing industry. If interested one may take a look

hmm... an interesting topic.. I have been blogging for around an year now... I think that saying that I will blog for probab 10 years would not be prudent because we dont know how the blogging/microblogging etc would be then! two years ago i used to think that FB would never catch up in India but clearly I stand corrected.

Though, through whatever platform, I will try and blog (or whatever would be the equivalent of that in the point of time)

Garf

No Idea.....it feel to great to blog today. May be in 10 years, i wont b there...may be the world wont be there...or may be everything would be becoming more "techy" and "geeky" and blogging would be mandatory way for the schools to accept assignments !!!

Who knows....I cant even say Y or N.....

According to the information from blogger, I'm here since may 2007. I'm here for the last 3 and a half years and survived almost everything. I'm pretty sure that I'll be here even if my blog is going to be a complete disaster! For those who do not care about the number of visitors and response, but still continue to behave like a writer, will definitely survive 10 years for sure.

You are absolutely right. Only dedicated bloggers will survive the heat for a decade. Others will move on.
