When it bursts, I hope there’s a puddle of splogs. I recall another bubble that burst once: the dot com bubble, which saw Web1.0 go to Web2.0, or so it’s said.

Hmmm. I guess there’s so many blogs out there already so pro-bloggers need to make sure that there’s still something unique about his/her blog in order to be a success in terms of pro-blogging

Blogging as industry?

I guess one could say that there is one but it is not really something that you would see in the Philippines a lot, or maybe not everyone acknowledges the presence of pro-bloggers here. Blogging is also an aspect of several things but there’s a lot to think about…

Burst? … as in the tech industry bubble? Since when was blogging an industry?

The only thing I’ve noticed pertaining to this is that MySQL databases have ceased to be offered in unlimited amounts in hosting packages. (sorta related, but anyway)
I still think the blogging bubble is far from bursting. The idea of blogging to make money is out there, yeah, but that’s not the first reason for it. I don’t think the potential revenue was what got Filipinos blogging, aside from cyberveterans.

This bubble is not so much like the first bubble, the bubble is in the hype. There is some idea out there that blogging will make you rich. Yes its true there are bloggers out there who make a lot but there are a lot more bloggers that don’t, same with the network. A blog is a website and just like any website, if it has enough traffic and the right ads or revenue stream it will make money. Blogging specifically will not make you money. period. exclamation. exclamation. period.

Its in this bubble that all the people are blogging thinking they will earn money ‘just because’ they are blogging will find out in the end its not all that.
