Blogging is here to stay. Don’t you think? Although blogging may not provide hard hitting news on regular basis, it is indeed a powerful practice. Blogs are very useful tools for sharing news and knowledge. I can attest to the usefulness of blogs; I’ve learned a lot by reading blogs and continue to do so every day.

Blogging is powerful; imagine having the power to research whatever you like, become a reporter without having to even prepare a resume, publish on your own pace and on your own website for next to nothing. You could get your voice out there on a shoe string budget.

Blogging is so powerful that every large mainstream news Web site had to add it’s own blog and it’s own blogger staff. Blogs promote fairness because they give people like you and myself the power to research and publish independently from multi million corporate news media and their bureaucracy.

Blog software that’s readily available such as WordPress is the result of the Open Source community. Communities like this offer free tools to individuals and help spread democracy throught the world by giving each person a weapon; their writer’s pen.

Blogs have evolved. Now I can see more photo blogs, I can see embedded youtube movies and other divX movies. I wonder what the future will bring. The WordPress blog has been used to create large websites, whole knowledge bases, not just blogs; and has been integrated into other open source software.

Blogging is here to stay. Blogging will evolve, and the future holds a lot of promise.
