Gartner is predicting that blogging will peak in 2007. Surely, the growth of blogs will slow but calling a peak is a bit premature. The good news is that splogs - spam blogs - will be on the decrease and quality content will be on the increase as influential, dynamic, well-written blogs rise to the top. Also, what the peak prediction completely misses is that there are millions of people who have not even thought about starting a blog yet. Hundreds of thousands of small business owners in America alone, and millions of people worldwide, are just beginning to think about starting a blog. So will the growth slow? It has to. Does that mean a long-term peak for blogging? Not quite.
Still not sure that blogging has growth potential? Check out the graphic below - a few more knitters and this whole blogging thing will really take off!
