![Will Google+ Replace Facebook as the King of Social Media? [plus Infographic] | Jeffbullas's Blog | Sosiaalinen Media | Scoop.it](https://img.scoop.it/4ysfXVloAqJvZydJBtzLcjl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVvK0kTmF0xjctABnaLJIm9)
Nothing is forever and the rise of Google plus begs the question When will Facebook be dethroned? MySpace lasted 5 years as the king of social networks until 2007 after launching in 2002. So how is Google+ growing and will it overtake Facebook?

In English there are about 500 function words, and about 150 are really common. Content words—nouns, verbs, adjectives, and most adverbs—convey the guts of communication. They’re how we express ideas. Function words help shape and shortcut language. People require social skills to use and understand function words, and they’re processed in the brain differently.

The important caveat is that he says it requires counting and categorizing to determine the difference. The ear alone can't pick it up. Everyone uses a certain concentration of "I" words. Most of us amateurs would probably get derailed trying to analyze each other by the use of pronouns, unless it was undeniably excessive!

Jeremiah Owyang makes a number of great observations in this post that he interprets as the end of the golden era of tech blogging. I strongly recommend reading it as it's indeed hard not to see a pattern after the sale of TechCrunch, of ReadWriteWeb or the departure of Ben Parr or Marshall Kirckpatrick.
Is this related to Tech only or is it a larger trend? Is blogging itself - and not just tech blogging - coming to an end?I think it's fair to say that a number of these observations are valid for the whole blogosphere: lack of attention span of readers, news and content remixing, fatigue of some personal brands, emergence of new business models, etc...
Blogging will not disappear but new forms of expression are definitely stealing the show from blogging platforms. Curation among them. Via Guillaume Decugis

I don't see how blogging, or some form of self publishing, can disappear in favour of content curation. Curating content is not creating content. Someone still has to write and publish the content, in whatever format they use.

You're right, Laura. And I don't think anyone is saying blogging will disappear: just that its golden era might be over. Jeremiah made that point for Tech Blogging and I was thinking it could also be true for blogging in general.
I always felt curation and creation were complementing each other and you're right: without content, there's no point in curation. But while Blogging (and creation) used to be the only and thus the dominant form of self expression, it's no longer the case: users also express themselves by remixing content, curating stories or creating virtual pinboards.

I posted that blogging needed a big change two years ago. It has become over commercial/ marketed. It has lost most of the charm it once had. I think the new blogging will be a lot more interactive. I read about gamifying a site/ blog. It makes a lot of sense but it needs work. If every WordPress blog runs the same gamification plugin they will all be equally bland and it won't work.
