It could also be argued that the 'blogging is a bubble' bubble may burst too! I still think that the important thing about blogging is that it's one part of a wider social, economic, etc change brought about by the internet, broadband etc. The key link in all of this is the emergence of technology that a) allows blogging but b) more importantly allows network quick and easy global network building. Blogs and the associated buzz will fade but 'websites' will remain and have RSS and interactivity as standard. That's the most exciting thing..... and what a quality act PWEI were!
