Earlier this month, AndFarAway‘s Roba asked whether blogging is dead. Amidst the mêlée of answers the conclusion was reached that it was not dead, merely resting. Starting a new blog fills the creator with a burst of energy that soon tapers off, descending into guilt when a few days of entries are missed due to hectic deadlines or another rainy Sunday with little on the news front, save the weather or Victoria Beckham in yet another overly-dressed L.A. appearance.

Injecting new life into the blogging genre is Zimbio: a fusion of interactive journalism and traditional media, wherein stories from traditional news sources coexist alongside blogs, and commentary and opinion articles are written or posted by readers’ in the wikizine - an interactive magazine that anyone can create or edit. The sheer number of topics and wikizines available is staggering, and by inviting readers to submit their own pieces, it essentially becomes one giant communal newspaper that broadens the concept of the one-person blog to a multi-person project.
