Maingold bloggers Marius has pointed out in an article on the crisis in the blogosphere: At the bedside of the blogosphere - blogging or the lack of motivation .
The blogosphere in the crisis - who would have thought? Recently, for example, on the 10th Republika celebrated, the community or themselves - from year to year the number had increased to the conference guests, and now even voices have been raised, lamenting the loss of family atmosphere. This makes one to believe not just that Blogosophäre lay prostrate. At first glance. The second shows the diagnosis could be something in.
Ok, I am even now not just the hardcore bloggers and otherwise not so often on the road in the blogosphere. For so long I surf, the more dissatisfied I am with the pure consumption - if I have every intention of blogging itself. The problem is - just like watching TV - not the many entries, the form and content want to be desired. But on the contrary produce it are the good content, interesting articles, the frustration. For quick notes: even with a 24-hour reading marathon would be able to detect almost all the content that interest you. it is too much good content, enable people to cope with it. With this realization slowly growing idea died on the pleasure from reading other messages. Rather do something else. Or the rest of the day, based on a few key blogs and browse - without commenting. Some blogs, like fefe or nerdcore are indeed great entry points into the vastness of the network.
But the mass of blogs causes another effect - namely, the feeling, even to say anything original to have everything: everything has already been blogged, and that certainly profound and eloquent than you are capable of it. And if not today, then yesterday. And if not today or yesterday, then tomorrow. So, you're not only reading, but also the writing.
To summarize: not bad, but the good content promotes the shrinkage of the blogosphere! (In a similar way to Magdalena 25uhr . How Success Kills Usability )
But wait: shrinkage? Yes, exactly! The blogosphere is sick, but she does not die. After an initial phase of euphoria, in which everyone has jumped on the trendy train, now comes the phase of the downsizing. Of course there will continue to blog, it is clear. Almost certainly, those who lead today blog charts . (We check this statement calmly in a few years, if this blog should be still.)
And is that bad? No, not really. Because suddenly it fun again to read blogs. By consolidating the world is again clear - a little at least. And the man happens to be a herd animal: Man likes to read the medium that a) their own opinions strengthened (yeah, is' unfortunately) and b) then read a lot of other people (which, see a) how even tick). And the rest? Well, he dies - or buy from small cliques Blog: just as before. Maybe you can meet even then offline again. Once (Präinternetium) called "Users Meeting such events: they wanted the people (mostly guys), with which one exchanges to meet in person with a beer and sometimes communicate "correctly", face-to-face. I must confess - I think this idea is not entirely unsympathetic!
