That is actually my favorite quote from the article. That, and: "Blogging 2.0 is about participating everywhere, and understanding that the comments can't be controlled just on your blog. They're moving to micro-communities where people are comfortable discussing your content with peers."

I'm not happy with the term Blogging 2.0, but it gets the point across.

A lot has indeed been changing of late.

I used the term Blogging 2.0 thanks to Duncan Riley's definition of it. While we could define any old term with any old number, I think it's time to recognize the old way of focusing on page views, # of comments, etc. is going away. FriendFeed, SocialMedian and other sites are going to be the big beneficiaries.

Exactly, which is why I was so surprised to see the 15 probloggers I should read post come up (http://bit.ly/1lpmK2). That is so blogging 1.0.

Personally, I'm very much rethinking how my own blogging habits should reflect this, but I'm spending too much time here already. And as I've mentioned, I've also ditched my classics feeds and replaced them with FF and SM feeds.

Very encouraging. And this is even when we know that we have work to do to make the commenting system better and easier for the community.

Great post, Louis. This again reminds me how important it is to consider portability in the development and implementation of such robust social tools. Not only do I want to be able have a single log in for all such services, ideally the discussion could be aggregated seemlessly across all such platforms, as well as in the comments section of the original post.

Good post, Louis. Now if only we could drop the x.0 labeling of everything on the 'Net. ...

Rythan, I think we know that probably won't happen. :-) Duncan Riley of the Inquisitr called it Blogging 2.0 and I was showing Social Median as an example.

No really...people are talking about me? I'm glad everyone here on SocialMedian is bringing news to the forefront.

Pity I have only so much hours in a day. And I have to eat, sleep, work. Can't be everywhere. Give the content creators a tool to aggregate all the convo about my stuff in one place. Or don't expect them to know about 80% of the conversation. And don't flame them when they don't answer in all 2142452 different SM sites.

Just a thought.

Socialmedian is like a good friend. Sure they are taking comments away from my site by readers ONLY commenting here, but I can't be mad at my friend. They hopefully click on my blog too. Comments are comments as long as they appreciate the work...Right?
