The New York Times has a pretty prominent article today called  Blogs Wane as the Young Drift to Sites Like Twitter . The title was probably written by an editor, not the author, because as soon as the article gets past the two token teenagers who tumble and Facebook instead of blogging, the stats show all the major blogging services growing — even Blogger whose global “unique visitors rose 9 percent, to 323 million,” meaning it grew about 6 Foursquares last year alone. (In the same timeframe WordPress.com grew about 80 million uniques according to Quantcast.) Blogging has legs — it’s been growing now for more than a decade, but it’s not a “new thing” anymore
