In this article the author says that blogs have been replaced by facebook and twitter. People now find it much more convenient to write 140 characteristics or update their status rather than writing several paragraphs on their blog. Twitter and facebook also are more frequently checked by viewers now. People who once started blogs to be part of the online conversation probably wouldn’t do that today, they would use facebook. This will be useful for my thesis because it argues against my thesis showing that blogs aren’t useful for research tools because they are dying off.
