Just a thought, but I really, really hope that in a few years when we all go back to find out how the future and past elite was thinking in 2004 that we won't find it hasn't all been deleted due to inactive accounts and unpaid service fees. I wonder how we can best try to preserve the documents we have now.
(Of course, even more so than traditional publications, blogs contain much junk - does anyone really care that I drank too much coffee one day? - and much of blogging and web journalism is more conversational than traditional media, so a lot of it is things that would not traditionally have been recorded anyway, but it is a new media, and much of it was meant to be more permanent than mere conversation. At any rate I think we will find much of it useful someday, even if we don't know exactly how yet.)
