Blogging is old news.

Individuals have been creating homepages for over a decade now. Blogs are no different, just prettier and easier to use.

But some people keep harping on about blogs, and worse, treat prominent bloggers like wise gurus, hanging on to their every word or antic.

Blogs are a great way to share ideas, digital content and complaints, but they could fade away like all Internet fads.

Technically speaking, the oldest blogs in the world would be newspaper columnists who have been dishing out opinions for centuries.

The difference is that we actually get paid for our trouble.
