Rick Klau Goes In depth On Google Blogger
 By
Jim Tobin
I had a chance to be on a panel at Internet Summit '09 with several interesting folks, among them Rick Klau, the Business Product Manager for Blogger at Google.
My very first blog, Life is Marketing, was a Blogger blog, but I had to wonder how Blogger was faring in an era of microblogging (like Twitter), location-based services (like FourSquare) and mini-blog services (like Posterous and Tumblr). And since Rick works for Google, I had to ask him exactly where Google Wave is going to take us. Take a look:
I was a bit surprised that Blogger is doing so well, but Rick wasn't the only one to indicate that blogging generally is not suffering from any sort of fall-off. Richard Jalichandra, the CEO of Technorati, shared a number of stats that aligned with Rick's in terms of blog use increasing. And I admire the overall plan to release Google Wave and let the world take it and use it as they will.
And you? Still blogging, or have you switched to mini-blogging? Or are you one of those folks I'm seeing who tried that and are back to regular blogging?
