Friends and bloggers,

At the beginning of the year I speculated that this could be the year of the blog. As the year turned past the half way line blogging was caught up in the same identity crisis as other forms of internet expression. The great battle of relativism or "pressapochismo" had begun to rage among academics and observers - are blogs really dumbing us down? Facebook, twitter and other similar sites were also thrown into the dock of the accused and the question now is... is this the beginning of the decline and fall of the blog as we know it?

Whatever the case here's to hoping that blogging as a medium does not die out but rather passes the quality assurance test it probably needed.

Blog On!
