This is one question that I haven’t given a ton of thought to. That is, until, I saw Stuart Dredge, ask this very question. He thinks that the Web 2.0 phenomena of personal blogging is very dead.

The same goes for Twitter. I got all fired up about micro-blogging, yet my Twitter feed is gathering dust, or whatever the internetweb equivalent is (stray zeroes and ones?). And the same is true for the people I follow.

In both cases, I think the reason is the same: Facebook. My friends and I have basically dumped personal blogging and micro-blogging in favour of posting status updates, joining groups, and sending each other virtual fish. And I don’t think we’re the only ones.

Of course he knows that commercial blogging is alive and well and unlikely to go anywhere anytime soon.

Do you think Facebook is killing personal blogging? Do you maintain a personal blog or you just in it for the money?
