The decline of the blogosphere.

The blogosphere has just begun and already it is in the decline? It must have started when i joined the blogosphere. It amazes me how fast things can go into the decline. But, after reading the Russo artice it does make sense. If everyone is only reading their blog, than how can we compare and contrast and build from them. The entire concept of social learning can be lost. I guess if blogs are going to be used at their maximuim potential students are going to have to read each other's blogs. That sound like it might be a little contraversial. Over time i think the herd will thined out and only those who recoginze the significance of blogging will continue.
