Blogging is the New MySpace

I’ve been telling my friends for some time now that blogging will soon be more popular than Myspace as a social medium on the internet.   I just had a hunch.

When rapper 50 Cent gets his own blog you know something has shifted in the cultural matrix.

A recent Tech Crunch article just confirms my hunches.  The numbers don’t lie.

That orange line. thats Blogger. Wordpress is another blogging platform.  That’s the red line.  While more common social networks like Facebook are rising, Blogger and Wordpress combined out number Facebook AND Myspace!

This might not mean much to the average socialite looking for the next hot party but to a small business this means everything!  If you want to know how to reach your target audience consistently online, dump that Myspace page and build a Wordpress blog.

Trust me. You’ll thank me for it.

E Magazines

Recently read a linked-in Q & A on E-Magazines. Ironically it came on the heals of reading this blog post discussing the death of many printing companies.  (See #10).

Although I’m not a big fan of E-Magazines, its hard to deny the appeal of  E-Magazine sites such as ISSUU which gives you the ability to upload your own magazines and distribute theme to online readers.

Diabolical!
