Getting my head out of the code and posting after 6 days of darkness, I find 10 minutes later, you spoke on the very subject! Maybe you should be my co-author :) Your graphs look prettier too! If Technorati is to believed then your habit of posting twice a day puts you in the super high influencer league! which I would concur.

Nearly all of these technologies are *both*. They are about individuals, not 'you as business person' or 'you as consumer'. Will the blog boom expand onto mobiles? Quite possibly - I am sure that MySpace, bebo et al are mad for it as a way of monetising their market. I think what’s great about all these things is that they sidestep the business/consumer divide.

Now that the mobile phone is ubiquitous worldwide, the next revolution will be to get blogs on these basic phones. For example, my partner's family members who live in Guatemala, have mobile phones, but don't have internet connectivity. Blogs will continue to grow. What is neat is that this growth is not always concomitant with business. Most of it is based on interest, family and friends. The only issue will be that not all the traffic will be in English (or whatever we call it now days). Internet traffic is bound to grow given the wave of technology around the world.
