Review: Interesting thoughts. I look at the blogosphere and such from an ecosystem perspective and think the predictive tools in that field (excuse the pun) can be used to predict how the blogosphere will trend. I've commented on much the same in my blog, http:/www.bizmediascience.com. Interesting stuff no matter how you cut it. - Joseph

Review: It's popular, but it is also diarrhea of the keyboard, swamping the universe with a flood of irrelevant and useless information that obscures the very rare items of value. But the beat goes on. And people blog, like it actually means something, So how do we design blogs that will archive and present 20 years worth of content?

Review: The focus always seems to be on making blogs easier to use and allowing even more ways to provide personal information online. While this is O.K. for adults, isn't anyone even thinking about the children and teens who don't have the critical thinking skills to not post potentially dangerous information? And yes, parents should be involved in their children's online activities, but many still are not for a variety of reasons.

Review: I read an entire novella by Pete Townshend, which he serialized via blog. What an amazing concept.

Review: Maybe the most exciting opportunity for blogs is providing an ability to publish your posts from any type of desktop software. Activity-related blogging? Hm-m.

Review: Her answer to the last quesiton is really interesting. She's basically saying the future of blogging is MySpace. Considering LiveJournal has 9 million members and MySpace has 26 million, seems like they might be in the hole for the "next big thing."

Review: About: "Blogs need to be accessible-looking. It would be great to offer more decorative templates. But it's important to present blogs where you can focus on content and context." This trend is used by pixelorama.com: The concept of Web logo is presented.

Review: The future of the blog is already here: www.gabcast.com. Record an audio blog using a phone or VoIP client (e.g. Gizmo project softphone); an optional post (interlace;) an audio episode to your existing (text) LiveJournal or TypePad blog.

Review: Trott's comments about how blogs will change are interesting, but there's another, parallel development that's also worth noting: how other, non-blog parts of the Internet are becoming more blog-like. Google's new Page Creator is one example. It makes setting up a Web site very like starting a blog using Blogger. More generally, all kinds of sites are beginning to adopt the familiar blog structure--a series of short posts supported by Google AdSense etc., in what amounts to the blogification of the Internet (there are even online books in this format).

Review: Very interesting story. I look forward to how next generation blogging software will allow readers to filter by the blogs built-in categories and dynamically receive only the content updates they wish to receive. http://www.webgambit.com
