Is Facebook the end of Blogging ?

I think it is. It’s not just what your words say anymore, but where they appear.

There are few, if any, actual blogs that I read any more. Actually, at the moment I cannot think of one. I do think only the die-hard bloggers actually pursue maintaining their blogs, and use various social mediums as a tool for promotion. Many people look for the simplest, easiest, quickest means of self-promotion and immediate feedback that avenues such as facebook provide. Maintaining a blog requires much more effort. So yes, I would agree with you that the onslaught of the social platform fads have moved the blog to the back of the line.

I doubt that Facebook plays a huge role in blogging. Medium on the other hand does, which is surely killing of a lot of smaller independent blogs.

I read Medium everyday but not a blog. Medium indeed is replacing blogs.

What about Twitter? 140 signs posts didn't kill blogging at all, people still write long-reads.
