Here we go again. The blogosphere is dead. Nicholas Carr at RoughType.com writes:
Almost all of the popular blogs today are commercial ventures with teams of writers, aggressive ad-sales operations, bloated sites, and strategies of self-linking. Some are good, some are boring, but to argue that they’re part of a “blogosphere” that is distinguishable from the “mainstream media” seems more and more like an act of nostalgia, if not self-delusion.
And the fate of blogs conversation goes on.
Jason Miller at WebProNews has come good commentary on it.

Indeedy, blogs have died a thousand deaths. And shall again.
Well every product finds customer. But i am pretty sure Blogosphere wont be dead for long time.
blogosphere is almost dead, but not dead 100%
Well I guess it’s a cycle.
Well, a few years ago the word blogosphere did not even exist. Now it is commonplace. And if the search engine do their jobs and re-evaluate the quality of the pages they index, and stick to their criteria, the quality should only improve. I am just glad the internet is so accessible and relatively inexpensive. I think it is a great thing for our freedom of speech.
I think the Blogosphere has just gotten messier that’s all, far from being dead. It is increasingly difficult to wade through the sea of blog corpses and spam blogs to find the true blogs.
I agree with you that blogosphere is not dead only messier. It’s hard to find one true blog among the blogs that are just commercial ventures nowadays.
Nowadays, Blogs are commercial ventures that they are a part of blogosphere.
