Scoble to stop blogging in 2017?

by on March 14, 2007

Listening to Bruce Sterling (that links to his 2007 SXSW keynote), who last night at SXSW said most bloggers would stop blogging in 10 years. Good talk so far.

Well, I’ve been hearing that since 2000, so who knows? I’m sure that someday I’ll stop blogging. I just don’t know when that day will come.

Anyway, I am back. More to come shortly.

  • Nope I don't think you will or at least I hope not! :)

    I suspect something greater than blogging will eventually come along though...
  • Jesus Robert, now you sound like Dave Winer!

  • Make that Twitter

    Not Flickr. Ugh.
  • Vinny: heheh. Everyone dies.
    But I'm not quitting. I was told I'd quit back in 2000 and it's been six years so far of "quitting blogging."
  • Christopher Coulter
    I swear don't get that guy, one second he boosts up, the "gosh-darn no-kidding new-media cataclysm" and the next he's catcalling it.

    Ambien speechwalking?
  • The internet 10 years from now will be as different (if not more so) from the internet 10 years ago. I don't know what the technology will be, but it won't be blogging as we know it.
  • Everyone I started blogging with back in 2000 (wow, so we started blogging at the same time) no longer has a blog or maintains they no longer have time to blog. I'm surprised that my first 'blog' is still live.

    I think I'll always be blogging, it's already that ingrained into my lifestyle. Micro-blogging, work-blogging, personal-blogging... Whether or not you'll be around in 10 years, unfortunately I can't answer that.

    kind of like when Forrest Gump decided to stop running ... you don't remember why you started, you don't know where you are going, and when you are done ... you'll stop.

    I must say before video your blog was more useful. I hate your videos! Hate that.
  • I'm going to stop in 2016 and beat you for once :)
    Seriously, 10 years? Who knows?
    And I give talks on the future of technology too!
  • It won't happen. If I stop blogging somebody else will start blogging at the same time.
