Good points as always, and I agree. For me this is my professional outpost, the place where I talk about my core subjects and discuss them. This is also the place that a lot of people that search for me online end up. So for me the blog (esp this one) is an important and effective tool to market me and my ideas! Thanks Jon!

I like to blog (hence my many blogs!) And I am also invited to guestblog now, and I hope for the future I will be invited to blog on other blogs also. A fun and interesting way to socialize in macroscale! I agree with your points Rosana, and the magnitude of ppl that says that the bog is dead hasn't really thought it through.

As a consultant I tend to funnel people from my various outposts on Facebook, Twitter and, yes, even commenting on blogs back to my own blog where there are calls-to-action. <br><br>Because this is the only site I really control myself, as opposed to social media sites, I get to run the game entirely. This makes it the most important place for me on the web. I work hard to channel people to my site because this is where I can show my skills and hopefully convince them to hire me. Thus far it's kept me in business five years. Although I've made a few deals via Twitter, I'm sure having an active blog has helped me convince them to actually hire me. So for me, blogging isn't dead. In fact, I think it's about to get even more exciting as content becomes more crucial as content farms spring up more and more in the SERPs.

I love social networking, but my posts and messages usually get lost "in the past" whereas on blogs I can still go through all of my old posts. Many social networks don't offer the possibility to have conversations and/or comments on the posts (or it will be very messy and hard to track). I love to combine the two, blogging and microblogging. Microblogging is a great way to meet people. And I get a lot of visitors through social networks. But I still prefer the old skool blogging over microblogging on social networks, although I don't think I can live without social networking these days :P For me personally blogging is not dead.
