Personally I still think blogs serve a valuable purpose on the web. Try pointing a potential employer at your Twitter (too scattered) or your Facebook (too personal). Or building a Tribe ( http://www.amazon.com/Tribes-We-Need-You-Lead/dp/1591842336 ) without a blog. I just don’t see it happening.

I think as long as we’re blogging with the right intentions, we’re doing fine. I just started my blog at softwarebloat to document my thoughts on the complexities of building software. If the only purpose it ever serves is as a place for me to get my thoughts down, that’s perfectly ok with me!
