2012 Predictions #273

For­get social net­work­ing. It’s SO 2011. So last year (once this year becomes next year, that is, though it’s quite last year even while we’re still in this year). Social net­work­ing is OVER. It’s more over than a flipped pan­cake.* My pre­dic­tion is that blog­ging is going to be BIG in 2012. Like, REALLY BIG. Bigger […]

Rethink, return and restart

Blog­ging, then. They — who­ever ‘they’ might be — say it’s dead.

The art of indi­vidual writ­ten expres­sion has moved to the 140 char­ac­ters of Twit­ter, to the Farmville-playing inan­ity of Facebook, […]
