First, Blogger started malfunctioning in April-May of this year. As a result, many people left the platform and moved their blogs somewhere else.
Now LiveJournal has crashed. From what I hear, LJ bloggers now have limits on how long their posts can be. And still, nobody guarantees that the blogs will work. (If you think Blogger’s customer service is bad, you need to meet LJ’s. That one is truly abysmal.)
This shows either that blogging is becoming more popular with every passing day or that somebody is sabotaging popular blogging platforms. I’m not very much into conspiracy theories, so, for me, blogging is on the rise.
Blogging offers so much creative freedom that no Twitter, Facebook or Google+ can substitute it. It is a way to go beyond the triviality of posting endless pictures of boring events and senseless status updates. Its goal is not to let you sort your small group of acquaintances into a great number of circles to convince yourself you are more important and popular than you are in reality.
Blogging is all about expressing yourself in a way that makes it quite obvious very soon whether you actually have a self to express.
