Brian Solis writes a very-social-media-unlike-long essay for Techcrunch on the rise of other formats relative to the blog. His suggestion is that the blog is losing its status, that micro-blogging through Twitter, activity through Facebook and MySpace, and shared experience through FriendFeed, there is a new powerhouse out there.
It's not as if the blogosphere isn't galloping forward, just that blogs aren't necessarily the pace-setters of the latest race. Solis suggests there is a need for new measurements of the trendier techniques within micromedia.
