	Phil's Blogservations Wednesday, December 08, 2004 Posted by philgomes 7:29 PM End Of The Personal Blogger? End Of The Personal Blogger? Om Malik brings up a good point: I have looked high and low but I don’t find many individual [blogs] represented on Yahoo. Instead dominating the list are more "pro" blogs like Engadget, Gizmodo and scores of others from say the Weblogs Inc, stable. True enough. It's a pretty foregone conclusion that the A-list is getting ever smaller. That said, I certainly don't rate my blog based on how many hits I get (quite a bit), how many times I'm linked, or whether a major portal likes me. To tell you the truth, I don't think you should either. Is the individual blogger being "marginalized" in favor of more corporate blog-or-bloglike concerns? Maybe. Then again, you have to ask yourself why you blog in the first place. Is it to interact better with your customers? Provide a platform for issues response and comment? Vent your spleen online? Publish without a publisher? What?
