Is blogging dead? Is web 3.0 the age of expertise only?

There has been several analysis or shout out saying that blogging is dead. People feel that the blogosphere is already over saturated.

Those same people believe that microblogging in the form of Facebook or twitter has taken over blogging. That people express themselves there, market and promote themselves vividly through these mediums, and that their blog posts are receiving less readership and engagement.
What do you think of this analysis? What do you agree with and not agree with? Do you feel like your blog is less popular than it used to be? Is this the reason behind it, or is it because you're perhaps busier? Do you find yourself competing to draw attention to your posts? Do you feel like you're writing re-runs?

Another thought is, the only people who should have blogs and write are the experts where they share something new, an added value, a tip and an advice there.

Lebanon Aggregator on Facebook

In case you missed it (steer your eyes a bit to the left you will see a huge blue box where you can like us :P), Lebanon Aggregator has a facebook page. Unlike several facebook pages that just ask people to like them and that's that, Lebanon Aggregator has a different strategy on Facebook than the one over here.

Over here is mostly to provide a directory for all Lebanese blogs, a blog-roll on the most frequent posts by those blogs, moreover an all stuff in one place, and an occasional post usually once every week.



But for a more vibrant dynamic way, whereas most people are busy with their work and busy with already the huge amount of news they get, you can visit that Facebook page to find 2 to 3 interesting and different-kind-of links to posts from the whole blogosphere.

Finally, Lebanon Aggregator Facebook page is where we listen, either you tell us what you think or you can answer the different questions we ask, in addition to plans on meeting and putting our efforts together to do something on an online national level. So go over, and give us what you got :)

What's your sect?

First of all, as you can see on the left, there is a Facebook page for Lebanon Aggregator now. The reason behind this, is to encourage many persons who are on Facebook and who like to express their opinions but for some reason they still don't know there is something called "blog" or they don't know that there is a whole blogosphere out there, to submit using the form on facebook page as well :).

Moreover, I was just wondering, and this is HUGE PUN INTENDED paragraph, should I add the blow on on the Submit Your Blog Form? ;) You know to go with the whole Lebanese way?:

What's your sect?: 

Now let's raise our glasses to a secular country. 

On that note, read those two posts from Ivy says "He’s Muslim; She’s Christian, All They Need Is Love, Right! Right?…?…?" and This is Beirut "Moving Lebanon towards a secular state"

What got you into blogging?
