The demise of the blogosphere is an interesting meta view. Regarding to what's wrong with the blogosphere my take would be its fragmentation and distributed nature. Due to current technology implementations and constraints a few blogging features do not function optimally: commenting and linking. I previously described these issues in <a href="http://www.blogherald.com/2008/02/04/where-do-you-leave-your-comments/" rel="nofollow">Where Do You Leave Your Comments?</a> and <a href="http://www.blogherald.com/2008/01/07/on-using-manual-andor-automatic-link-notification-systems/" rel="nofollow">On Using Manual and/or Automatic Link Notification Systems</a>.

Moreover, the point made about not getting read as a blogger is of course a nonsense; the same goes for your average dusty holiday-flickr account or all the narcisistic youtube-efforts...And since a large chunk of editors on Wiki are software, one cannot really state that wiki is the new personal, interactive stage, either. As a comment on your comment: I do agree that sns, youtube, flickr and microblogging are seen in better light as complementary media rather than competative. But apparently, everybody want to coin the demise of the blogosphere (why is this?). So something must be troubling, or wrong with it... Any light on where these comments come from?
