The Jeff Pulver Blog: Facebook is not killing blogs; Facebook is changing the way some of us approach writing our Blogs.

Facebook is not killing blogs; Facebook is changing the way some of us approach writing our Blogs.

I enjoyed reading the “Is Facebook killing blogs?” post Jon Arnold wrote as a follow up to my recent “Where Have all the Comments Gone?” post. As we explore our own evolving social graphs and try to understand the growing responsibilities for managing our own social networks, one impact I never anticipated was the one Facebook would have on the way I approach blogging and the ways which my friends (all 4,226 of them) can interact with me, at will, about any given subject, at anytime of the night or day.

Every once in a while I will take a blog entry from this blog and will post it as a note on Facebook. I don’t believe every blog entry of mine should automatically appear as a Facebook note, so I don’t have anything setup to automatically do this.

Generally speaking, once I post a note, the conversation comes alive and the community of people known as “my friends” will jump in and take the conversation to various directions. Yes, the same thing sometimes happens here, but I have discovered posting a note in Facebook has a much longer lasting effect. For example, at the moment there are 35 comments (and counting) contributed to my note about: Will Business Cards still be used in 2015? and 42 comments contributed to: Facebook Feature Request: Invisibility. And these are just two of the conversations which are still continuing, days after the original note was posted.

So while I don’t think Facebook is “killing blogs”, it is having an impact on the way some of us use our blog as platforms to share our messages and engage and interact with our respective communities.

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,
so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

Jeff - Just as a supporting comment... Facebook is also rapidly supplanting IM for young people, at least as far as I observe. Facebook is more of a "rich medium" for the kids, with the immediacy of IM and the persistence of Email in one handy place. Facebook is also multi-threaded, in the sense that many conversations are maintained at once, but in a more organized way than they are on IM. Finally, Facebook is one community - one universe, or "directory," as a computer guy might say - so there are none of the incompatibility problems associated with various IM systems.

Best wishes for the new year from Dr. Q!

I agree with Romney - Facebook is just another
distribution mechanisim, and (IMHO) actually
increases the effectiveness of blogging.

Jeff,
Facebook is not killing blogs. Facebook is merely another distribution and consumption mechanism and actually streamlines the consumption of blog content.

It also is another way that bloggers can make much deeper connections and conversations with their readers.

Cheers and Happy Blogging!
