Blogs Live Longer

Obviously I write a blog. So whenever the discussion about the relevancy of blogs comes up I listen. Well Brain Solis has published his annual State of the blogosphere that shares some interesting insights.

State of the Blogosphere 2011
  1. most blog writers are from Gen X and Gen Y but everybody reads blogs.
  2. brands are getting blogged about more and more
  3. blogging has proved valuable in building the company who has blogged
  4. blogs live longer that tweets and status updates.
There is much more data in the article but for me point 4 above says it all. In a world of 140 charcter updates, when you find a trusted source that goes deeper... you tend to go back to that well.
