Is subscribing to a blog is a concept of the past?
January 2010 Great Blog Links
Maybe we are starting moving away from reading the blogs we are subscribed and more waiting for people to use twitter to link their new posts. I found myself spending less time in Google Reader and just catching up or using Bing to search what I need technology wise. The answers to your programming questions can always be found in a developer’s blogs, just let SOE index those for you ;-)
I believe now blogs are longer tweets, or I just might used Twitter too long. I like that in Twitter I can engage into a conversations, where blogs are a little more static. I hope that eventually blogs will open threads beyond comments and be able to move closer to the Social Media. Many bloggers use twitter to alert users about their new blogs. I do believe there is a market for a hybrid of blogs and twitter out there, maybe twitter without the 140 character limitation? That will be interesting or scary.
Blogs are still the most useful took to a developer, some articles found are genius where the blogger really did a fantastic job and I would like to share with you those that I enjoy lately, hopefully you will to.
