After the article the other day who asked existential questions about the sustainability of a blog, Quelbazar walked on the Web to see what she looks like, this French-speaking blogosphere, in 2014.
It's a little cheesy, "blogosphere", right?
But not comfy: French-speaking blogs still have great vitality. Even though it's been years that we hear "blogs, it's over". Yes, certainly, we see a real evolution to "specialized", strong thematic blogs. The "diary" as a blog, it's more, because there is Facebook for this. Or rather Instagram. Because – Facebook is hasbeens. Or rather Snapchat. Because – as Instagram is soon hasbeens.
So yes, in Western Switzerland, there are a lot of opinions, literary food blogs, blogs, blogs. There are also blogs of various enthusiasts: in race walking, diving, computer safety. You can find blogs of expats. Or blogs of moaners, also.
And, of course, "commercial" blogs. But even if they correspond to the definition of what is a blog, they interest me less, those…
But also, the definition of a blog, in 2014, what?
According to wikipedia (because everyone knows well that Wikipedia is always right…):
A blog is a type of website – or a part of a web site – used for periodic and regular items, usually brief, publication and reporting a current around a given topic or profession. Like a journal, these articles or "tickets" are typically dated, signed and follow an order antichronological, which is the most recent to the oldest. The names blogue1 or cybercarnet2 are also used, notably in Quebec.
Either: It has not much changed…
Yes, so, this scoop: in 2014, the French blogosphere is always vigousse. And Quelbazar will dissect all story to tell you about here. Promised!
