Article Writing a thing of the past?

Some one emailed last month with:

Just wanted others opinions and the way forward.

Thanks

I agree, but that's not really a question, is it?

The question is in the title:

Article Writing a thing of the past?

I definitely don't agree that article writing is a thing of the past. What I think IS a thing of the past (at least, I HOPE so) is low quality articles, spun articles, and the thin content that so many directories have accepted, pre-Panda.

In fact, my business has exploded since Panda was released, as people scurry to acquire quality articles to replace the watered-down garbage they were previously buying for .01-.02 per word.

So I'd say no, it's not a dead practice, but going forward, it's going to take higher quality to be effective.
