What’s next in blog design?

The folks who brought the world Six Apart and Movable Type, Mena and Ben Trott, talk to BusinessWeek about the future of blog design.

What aspects of blog-software do you believe can be improved?
I think blog tools can get easier to use. Putting together a blog should be as easy as sending an e-mail. I foresee the next versions of blog tools as focusing less on features that appeal to early adopters. They’ll be easier for people to incorporate more media and maybe mobile capabilities. This will be important, because many more mainstream users will come to blogging. I believe the interest in blogging is just starting.

Considering how much time I’ve put into this blog, I could get behind this concept. Another concept that I can get behind from the article is letting the masses know that blogging is not just about politics or technology. The social networking aspects of the medium will be the primary means of growing blogging in the future.
