I too, have had a lack of focus over the years, but that’s nothing new to me in general. From the first time I ever heard the phrases “well-rounded personality” and “balanced lifestyle” I have always strived towards that.

Unfortunately, it does open me up for Attention Deficit Disorder type behavior. I know most people know what ADD is, but I’ve come to despise acronyms without at least a clue what it means somewhere in the same post. Mainly because my interests are so varied that many acronyms don’t mean the same thing everywhere or I could get lost on the Internet if I try to go look it up. But I digress:-)

Anyways…What interests me is everywhere. Blogging does help narrow the focus. I’m guessing those guys you mentioned also think email is dead. I receive many blogs through email and they conveniently locate themselves in the right folder when they arrive for my perusal when I am focused. I also have several RSS feeds, but I rarely check them unless I have time to kill after reading my email and experimenting with things I’ve found.

I usually subscribe to RSS feeds when I want to be able to find something again, but not necessarily follow it continuously. I may go look it up if I see something that reminds me of it.

I think a lot of “online people” lose sight of the fact that many people still are not on the Internet. They might have an email that a relative or friend setup for them. Some barely know when they’re using it if they’re using mobile apps, GPS, etc. They think it’s a magical cell phone service provided by their cell provider.

Bottom line is I haven’t seen much on the Internet that is dead. Just misused. I think almost all mediums are still functional, and practical as long as they are simple to use and complement each other.

How anyone could say that blogging is dead is definitely full of crap!
