The Blog Herald has a post on the decline of geek blogging. Discussion ensued at Slashdot.
I suppose this is a Geek blog. Is geek blogging in decline? I don’t know; it’s an interesting article nonetheless, and a nice reminder that if you are writing in a blog, you have in mind that someone will read it, and it makes sense to attempt to write things that people might actually want to read.
By contrast Slashdot itself, possibly the geekiest geek-blog of them all, shows no sign of decline. Then again, Slashdot, kuro5hin, and similar sites, have become something of an institution.
I don’t think geek blogging per se will ever disappear; the interweb is inherently geeky. No matter how mainstream the web becomes, it’s architects and enthusiasts are, and will remain, geeks.
