Facebook and Twitter may be getting all of the attention, but blogs aren’t going anywhere. At the 2009 BlogWorld Expo, Blogger Product Manager Rick Klau talked to WebProNews about the state of Google’s blog publishing system, the state of blogging in general and how newer communications options come into the equation.

Klau said that Twitter and blogs “each have their place,” blogging and microblogging aren’t part of a zero-sum game. If conversations are fragmented, that’s fine. That can even be a good thing. Twitter became the second-largest source of traffic (after Google) to Klau’s blog when he implemented software that tweeted about his latest posts.
