Comparing blogging with twitter and facebook is insulting, I think. Nothing wrong with having a facebook profile, but can you compare the craft of sustaining a blog, and getting your reader interested in what you have to say, with managing a facebook profile? I think not.

I think that some form of blogging has died. The blogs-are-cool thing is dead. The I-blog-to-stay-in-touch thing is dead.

But blogging as an intellectual activity? I think we have only seen the tip of the iceberg. I think blogging has still a long to go. People will find better ways to blog. They will find better ways to network the blogs.

BTW, I started a bit after you, and I have the same stats. I have over 1000 posts, and something like 1200 comments. So you are not alone!
