I see it evolving and growing, maybe not on '08, but soon blogs will look completely different. As mobile technology improves, blogs will need to change to fit better into that format. Google's open source media device will go a long way towards pushing that process. Gerard mentioned Wordpress, look at what being open-source has done for it. Wait for the kids who have grown up coding to hit college and we will see some fireworks! I do not think that blogging is even close to reaching it’s potential.

The face of blogging is evolving: more magazine-style and news-style blogs. But I also think that '08 is going to see big growth in business blogs.

Wordpress.com and similar will going to continue grow. I do think there will be a trend away from blog style designs for some blogs (<a href="http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2007/11/websites-versus-blogs/" rel="nofollow">I wrote about it here</a>), but at their core the sites will remain blogs. I think they're here to stay. I don’t think blogging will be going away. WordPress.com and similar will going to continue grow.

That's relevant, because as the 'blog' buzzword peaks, we're all ultimately 'web publishers', and WordPress (as our weapon of choice) is as good a publishing platform as any. My feeling is that blogging as a niche may be on the wane, but publishing great articles will always be the mark of a great website.
