Will you be able to maintain your enthusiasm for blogging during 2007?

Will you still be driven to blog each day and seek out that special entrepreneurial niche that will generate millions of dollars for you?

Will blogging be more difficult in 2007?

Will we find it more difficult to get decent rankings due to SOE changes (again!)?

Will you want to carry on blogging during 2007?

Will ordinary blue chip Multi-National companies adopt and appoint podcasting and blogging to saturate blogosphere with their company’s message?

Will the blogosphere as we know it today remain forever burgeoning in 2007?

Will we be censored in 2007?

UPDATE: Don’t say I never asked or thought the end of the blogosphere expansion as we know it today was closer than some experts apparently predicted. Go see what Technorati’s expert reported some months ago here when I asked, “When Will Blogosphere Implode or Contract“?

Technorati reckoned there was no end in sight. But at the BBC site an article summarising a Gartner prediction contradicts what Technorati said. Others like me do think blogging is like any fad and only serious bloggers who stay the course and maintain their momentum will survive. Some blogging devotees, who may blind themselves to facts about fads, remain adamant that blog creation by individuals may continue to double and retain levels for an indefinate period. They should wake up and smell reality. It smells of, once I have said it, blogged it and struggled to find a creative streak and the novelty wears off and no A Lister Blogebrity listing comes along after a couple of weeks and in fact nobody visits my site so what the hell is this craze alll about and who said it was easy……… oh screw it I’ll forget about it for a while…..

Anyway, you can and should read the BBC article HERE and make up your own mind. Mine is made up. Technorati’s facts are old. They iterate figures from 3 months (a quarter of a year) back when allegedly the rise of blog creation was still riding a hang ten on the blogging wave. But like all surfers know - the wave only gives you a ride that lasts so long.
