Trends: How micromedia is evolving blogs
June 29, 2009
Web strategist and blogger Jeremiah Owyang observes how the nature of self publishing on the web is changing, with the traditional blog no longer the main vehicle for expression. Instead micromedia platforms like FriendFeed, Posterous, and Twitter make it easier to post more frequently, and are better suited to the sort of constant chatter we’re now seeing. Quick, easy and often, but not necessarily richer content.
That’s not to say that blogs are disappearing, rather the new lifestreaming-type tools are leading to specialisation of the media: Blogs are still better for posting original, rich content, the larger thought-through pieces, while micromedia is better suited for continuous comms and is now taking that function away from the blog.
Is Blogging Evolving Into Life Streams?

People are getting lazier and lazier. Soon it won’t be twitter – it’ll be people just posting random pictures. Or even just recording messages so it takes less time. We should honestly get back to our roots here.
