For a while now, I’ve been feeling rather guilty that I’m not regularly blogging. But the more I look around these days, the more diaphanous the blogosphere seems to get. Bloggers I know who used to blog every day, without fail, are now writing in every two or three weeks at best. Most seem to have migrated to Twitter, Facebook, Twirl, Yammer, and other similar one-line, social messaging utilities. After all, why blog when you publish your links, thoughts, ideas, and questions every few minutes/hours? At the end of a twittering day, what’s left to say?

And these social messaging feeds are now becoming so ubiquitous, we are now seeing a number of applications emerging that are aimed towards aggregating the daunting task of these frequent updates, such as Twirl. Additionally, the latest cell phones are making it easier to connect (and completely migrate) to all these social messaging utilities (i.e. iPhone).

I know I’ve got one blog foot in the grave.
