Could Twittering be the end to blogging as we know it?

I for one believe the ease of Twitter will spell the end to a majority of blogs as we know it today. Sure we will still have the media blogs and your industry blogs but the Average Joe blogging about whatever happens to be on his or her mind will be replaced by Twitter. To be honest this is probably a good thing as blogs can be very useful once you find a good one to read; the problem is finding the right one then and then when you do hoping the writer keeps blogging at a regular pace.

Although I don’t find twitter to be that useful as a social media tool today I do think it has its place in the social media industry, just how big who knows, probably the same as Facebook or MySpace. The remaining question though is...will Twitter have staying power?
