I agree that the future is about convergence. Blogging IMO is overrated if you think about it. The fact that it took about 8 years to come up with simple tools to allow people to add text to a web-page is indicative of the disparity between what technologists think the average consumer needs and what they actually do need. There were dozens of WYSIWYG html editors (that still confuse many people) before there were simple blogging tools.
Now that we've realized people like putting their thoughts on a web-page the next step is integrating that with other communications tools like you say Multiply.com does.
