After BussinessWeek carried out an article on Blogging, this subject all of a sudden has become hot. In my search on future of Blogging found few interesting developments. Next in line is Video Blogging (Ex VidBlogs) and Podcasting .
Video Blogs,as the name suggests, are video files uploaded on a site along with the text. This results in an increased interaction with ppl who read their blogs. Till now video blogs have been for private viewing but it appears more and more ppl are ready to show their lives to complete strangers.Naturally Google cant remain away from this new phenomenon. Google Video(Beta) has started and is in the line of Video blogging.
Those who want to keep their anonymity and are too lazy to write (Like me 
) Podcasting is the solution. Similar to Video blogging but here sound files aer uploaded in either mp3 or rm formats. Podcasting gets its name from ipod+broadcasting. Eventhough this is not related to Apple in any way but is believed that it was started by using an Ipod to record and transfer.
Many companies have also realised how blogging can affect the output/work of a company. Recent example being that of Nokia . Read on Bussiness Week Blog how Nokia is publising its Nokia 7700 using Blogs.
