The return of the personal blog

The Verge recently argued for a personal blogging renaissance.

We seem to be on the same page. Obsessed.blog was started out of nostalgia for personal blogging.

Will it ever return to its glory days?

I doubt it.

The “rewards” from alternatives like Tik Tok are more enticing.

Will more influential people start doing it?

It's possible.

I think sharing and telling stories is in our DNA. It builds communities.

Blogging (and writing for that matter) works your thinking muscles. Blogging daily has sharpened my thinking.

It's also a great way to organize photos and thoughts that usually sit in Notepad and Photos.

I’m hoping the general distaste for social media these days will push a good handful to start their own blogs.
