The Blog Herald’s Duncan Riley has written a fine expose on overviewing the history of blogging and proclaiming the sure demise of the "geek" blogger. He outlines three generations of bloggers: geeks, extroverts, and consumers.
Of course blogging started with the geeks. It had to. It’s a technology application after all. Then, in 2002 according to Duncan, a second generation of bloggers was born, which he refers to as "extroverts." Now, in 2005, blogging has indeed moved mainstrean and, thanks to platforms like Blogger and MSN Spaces, it’s in the hands of consumers.
This is some of Duncan’s best, most insightful writing and prognostication, well worth a read.
Bless the founder of BLogger thats what i say.
