Very interesting post Kristin. I haven't been a reader of your blog very long but thought this was one of the best posts I've read in the last few weeks. 

I'm with you-- no need to worry about the future of blogging. Although I love when I get new readers and hope my blog continues to grow; ultimately it's a space for me to create, get my thoughts out, make new friends, and hear different opinions. As much as Twitter or Facebook allows me to share information, it cannot replace my blog as a forum to be creative.
