One of the beauties of blogging is that it is text based and relatively lightweight. Sure there could be issues with the use of rich media socially-oriented sites such as YouTube, but that is definitely separate from blogging.
Furthermore, the category “blogging” is a term that tends to obscure a widespread adoption of social networking tools. There are many social networkers who would never consider themselves as bloggers, yet do actively engage in online and social media in a range of forms — from Flickr, Facebook, MySpace and Tumblr through to Typepad, WordPress and other more robust, dedicated blogging platforms.
