Today, however, in a world where thousands of status updates and tweets whiz by our screens every hour, blogging arguably feels slow.

So is blogging dead? It depends on who you ask. After all, TMZ and Mashable are blogs and they’re doing quite well. However, it’s definitely time for a closer examination of the blog – where it sits today and where it’s going.

Over on Mashable we are exploring this further by setting up a mind map that can be edited by anyone who signs up for MindMeister. Please edit it! Tell us what are we missing here. How can we paint a more comprehensive view of where blogging is going? Help us shape the right picture and we’ll report back on what we learned. It’s also embedded above.
