I have been wandering around the blogs and my RSS feeds and I am seeing a flavor of the week as it relates to blogs. I am seeing people talk about A-listers and the nepotism of their cliques. I am seeing people talking about attribution and linking and other bloggers snarking about the big guy versus the little guy. I see that networks are getting a bad rap with their linking policies, and other issues about blogging. Are we as bloggers reaching a crossroad? Have we finally reached a tilting point? Are we graduating to the next level in what blogs will become? My thought is we are growing as bloggers, and evolving into the next generation. With every new medium there are growing pains and lessons to be learned. We go forward with quickness and then we must look back and learn about what ground we have covered. We learn from mistakes, and rules and ethical codes are made based on what we experience along the way. Yes, we are at a crossroads as we are everyday in the blogosphere. Each day is a new lesson and each day we adopt new principals and rules. Each day is a new learning day and each day we should take notes and make the proper adjustments.

blogging is evolving in many directions at once, no one paradigm is likely to establish itself as dominant… blogging is lateral as well as vertical, scattered as well as accumulative, live as well as archive. blogging, like life, is what you make it. as soon as we define it, it’s gone somewhere else. as soon as someone sets a style or function definitively, a new path is started somewhere else.
