On this blog the writer quotes some statistics which suggest that the Blog will die.
The article is in French, but I can summarise the contents:
The article is in French, but I can summarise the contents:
- Less than one in six bloggers maintain their blogs
- Participation: less than 2% of internet users leave comments
- The content: often uninteresting
A study carried out in October finds that 45 - 54 year-olds and 56 -64 year-olds make up 14% and 11% respectively of total blog readership.
So CM (who writes the blog) says we must fight to keep blogs alive - write articles and leave comments!
There is then a quote from Wolinski: I will leave one of my French readers the task of translating this...
I do believe that ultimately, Blogs can only work if they become increasingly interactive; if they are consumed like fish fingers or corn flakes with nothing returned then the future seems to be bleak.

Wolinski's quote: "It is not because you don't have anything to say that you should keep your mouth shut".
You didn't mention the best info in CM's article : The end of Microsoft.
"Ce n'est pas parce que l'on n’a rien à dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule !" - quote of Wolinski.
Roughly: It is not because we have nothing to say that we should shut up.
Stinker added another famous quote of a popular "humorist", Pierre Dac: "Et vice versa".
Thank you STinker - for me and for my non-francophone readers!
Mind you, regarding Wolinski, the late Keith Duckworth, co-founder of the famous Cosworth company one remarked: "Better to keep your mouth shut and have everyone think that you are a fool rather than opening it and proving it!"
And of course, thanks CM.
In my second comment, of course I meant "once" (remarked) nstead of "one"
