What is blogging? Time was you could simply say: “writing a blog”, but now? I wonder whether the genre has outgrown the platform, with the likes of Seesmic, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Delicious providing new spaces for ‘things we used to blog’ (any more you can think of?).

As I write a book and ask myself this question I wonder: can you define blogging without mentioning technology? Personal? Open? Linked? I’d love to know your thoughts.
