Outdated bloggers

I'm concerned to read on  Berkshire Blog: a global point of reference: Trying not to be "soooo 2006" that I am likely to be left behind on the technological rubbish heap as 2007 starts. The reason?

"2007 will be the year of the multimedia blogosphere. If you don't have video, podcasts, photos, screenshots and other visuals on your blog, well then you're soooo 2006. Not to worry. Adding a YouTube video to your blog is as easy as copy and paste."

I can't see this happening here, as I blog because I like writing about things, not because I want to get into audio or video. Oh well, I am sure I will find a few other people who are happy to potter about in the pleasant backwaters of Petronaville, and maybe who won't be upgrading their own blogs to all-singing-all-dancing either.

Although I have had my share of pics and things I don't believe it is that much of a draw. Words work, yours better than most!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Maxine!

Did you hear this year's Queen's Christmas message is going to be made available as a podcast on the royal website?

I would rather hang out here than almost anywhere. Words are the draw for me, Maxine. I'm old school!

Call me a luddite, but I much prefer text to anything else! If I wanted videos I would switch on the TV/DVD player!

Thanks for all the nice comments! I'm glad there are a few of us who value the written word and don't (necessarily) need pictures and sounds.

I'm with you Maxine! I prefer words to visual add-ons like YouTube.
