At the moment blogs are being used for entertainment, news, opinion and like I said before, really just anything you can think of. From the early days of the internet as we know it today blogs have gone from online journal entries to multi purpose websites used for a wide range of topics and purposes.
While most are either video or text based, I can see blogs becoming much more interactive in the future. Blogs have already become more interactive as they progress. Blogs enable comments on posts, but I can see blogs becoming more of a blogging community as opposed to a single person's opinion. Blogs may become more of a combination of forums and essays. Video blogs may begin to become more of a forum as well, enabling video comments and more interactive options. I can see blogs becoming more of an online community as opposed to single essays.
Some blogs have become so popular their writers have began to make a living off them. Examples:
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/ The writer of this blog has been able to transform the popularity and well known status of his blog into writing a best selling book.
Blogs like this: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/ are a full time job.
Because of the popularity of the site and the amount of hits per day, the woman writing it is paid by the server website to keep her blog. This is the case for a lot of blogs today.
Working online is common, and blogger is becoming a full time job in some cases.
This will probably continue in the future, with more and more blogs being made, and more and more people reading them.
