Joho the Blog: Joho the Blog: When blogs get really popular

Interesting analysis here about the future of blogs. In particular, the prediction is made that 1- the lines between blogs and discussion lists will blur, and that 2- the lines between email and blogs will blur.

I'm already a believer that email is on its way out as a method for delivering newsletters. The spam issue is just too big, and the legit business community can't agree how to stop it. Every small business should be experimenting with how blogs might fit in their marketing mix. Mine sells books, for example. It is so cheap and easy to do.
