I don’t think blogs are dead at all.
It’s true that there are zillion blogs too me-centered or marketing-oriented instead of common-interest-centered. But there are indeed many extremely valuable blogs in almost every domain.

I think I haven’t found in your analytics a reference to comments (both in quantitative and qualitative terms) which are an important part of blogosphere.
It’s also true that many blog comments are irrelevant (such as “great post”, “thank you for sharing” and the sort) but quite often comments are as rich and interesting as the original post.
In our museum’s blog, (http://www.blogmuseupicassobcn.org/en) we still receive few comments, but the comments we get, we treasure.

The only way that I can see possible for people to be making part time income would be through the Internet.

I think some of this continued blogging energy is fueled by Twitter and other social media platforms that most of us are using to help sift through internet noise and bring interested readers to specific blog posts – our own and others. Nothing encourages attention to content quality and consistency better than knowing that people are going to read your work, comment on it, perhaps debate about it. Waiting for people to find a blog is a little like hoping Google organic searches will send people to your website. Increasingly unlikely.

As for corporate blogging, I expect to see it increasing on the rise. Do you? Companies need to provide a spot on their websites for community conversation. We increasingly expect it. They know it. And it may be the ultimate antidote to potential Google Side Wiki clutter on their website.

Thanks again for the great post.

I'm intrigued to see so many more men still blogging compared to women. Over here in Sweden I've started to feel it had switched around with women being really active blogging and tweeting, overtaking men.

Perhaps the Nordic region is a precursor to what will happen elsewhere.
