Blogs could be just like twitter, posting short comments with links. But delicious and twitter do that so much better and are much easier to access quickly. The blogging tools have shifted to writing where now blogs are really a powerful, templated website authoring platform. You can use a wordpress blog to run your entire website, with pages and updated posts to comment on news or other issues. I agree that blogs are basically becoming journalism for the masses where everyone writes up their opinion like for <a href="http:\/\/www.forexpals.com\/" target="_blank">forex online</a> . If its just a short comment it won’t be seen on a blog except by your followers but a full article might be. Twitter is the place for quick, short commentary to be thrown in the bustling cauldron of discussion that is the internet. As the article points out, its all how you use it.

The new media is not traditional media. The new media almost has no medum, it comes directly from the source. But do you think Twitter will last? Will people be able to cut through all the self-serving marketing spammers to be able to read the updates that matter? And will they be able to tell the difference? My prediction is that Twitter will fold and something more specialised will take its place. There must be a Twitter substitute out there that is better at quieting the marketing noise. I agree.
