RE: Blogging is Dead! Long Live Blogging!

I remember starting to create personal web pages on my local freenet in 1993 or 1994. I wouldn't really call it a blog though. However, I used all the early blogging platforms including Friendster, Xanga, MySpace, and probably a couple I've forgotten. I still have a blogger account and a self hosted wordpress instance. These days, most of the stuff I post goes here. Some of it eventually also gets posted to one of those platforms.

I've seen people make the claim that long form content is dead and short form is the future. I find that pretty silly though. I mean I don't doubt short content will continue to be popular but long form content isn't going anywhere. I mean the novel is still around, lol.
