When I started blogging two years ago, I heard and read how blogs were just trash, no serious information could be found on blogs, blogs were a waste of time and bandwidth…..

Here are two reflections from the Encyclopedia Britannica on blogs as blogging reaches the age of ten:

What will they say in 6 years about the Social Networking sites that abound? MySpace is less than 4 years old and variants from Facebook to one launched in January just for us older folks called UbiPlanet (aimed at folks from 25-50 – OK so I’m over 50) http://www.ubiplanet.com/.

The phone company told us to reach out and touch somebody- now we have phones clipped to our ears. We’ve become addicted to staying in touch. What technology do you use to keep connected – your cell phone, your Blackberry, your PDA, your wireless laptop with e-mail?
