Is blogging too mainstream?

I remember two years ago, if one mentioned they had a "blog," the majority of ppl would have no idea what the hell you were talking about. Today, it's become so mainstream that some bloggers are "celebrities" in their own, i.e. Perez Hilton. Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid Perez reader, but does anyone else find it weird that major networks, such as CNN, quotes him?

It's kind of funny, even a mere year ago, I would always discuss how we could use the Internet and blogging as part of our public relations strategies, but no one seem to be on the bandwagon as much as I was. Now, there seems to be an article every two days in major dailies about how blogging has impacted the way advertisers and companies are planning ad campaigns, etc.

Is blogging getting too big for its own britches? My brother used to have a blog, years ago, way before blogging was "cool". He now refuses to keep one as it seems that everyone & their pets have a blog to discuss their personal lives, etc.

Then there's the phenomenom of MySpace. Not totally sure what the background is exactly, but Fox has some relationship w/ it and now... there's going to be a movie based on teens & their use of MySpace...

The dark comedy Normal Adolescent Behavior looks at sexual politics and the use of MySpace among privileged teens. Amber Tamblyn, Kelly Lynch, Kelli Garner and Daryl Sabara star in the film written and directed by Beth Schacter.
