LOL! But as the article pointed out, most blogs do go inactive fairly quickly. The main reason, I think, is boredom. I've started 3 blogs and quit posting to 2 of them simply because they couldn't maintain my interest. The one active blog I have had for almost 5 years is the DUmmie FUnnies. The reason is that I am constantly amused and entertained by DUmmie behavior.
The NYT in its death throes, trying to convince itself everything’s going to be alright. LOL!
Yep, with literally millions of web sites and blogs out there, it’s hard to keep up with all of them, and for people to keep them going.
I enjoy coming here and some other sites, but, there’s only 24 hours in a day, and we all have to live our lives too. There’s only so much time to devote to things like this.
Very interesting, and bloggers can learn from this. Keep tehm active, even if two people are reading. We need every outlet we cna get.
I agree. Most blogs cease to exist, or go dormant, because the blogger gets tired of posting or doesn’t have as much time to devote to it as they thought they would. There are plenty of readers out there, and the bloggers who stick with it and don’t take long breaks from posting continue to grow and steal readers from the MSM rags. I can see why the NYT would want to convince people that blogs are doomed to die out though. Poor dumb sobs. Haven’t they run out of assets to sell yet?
Are you an artist? Because I have an idea for a cartoon.
The DUmmies are an infinite source of material,aren’t they?
Kept my blog going for a year. An Obamaite storm trooper blogger read it and found out who I was and tried to get me fired from my job for the content I posted. I in turn published the url for this idiot’s blog and my loyal readers deluged him with less than flattering letters. Turned out okay in the end.
I still update the blog but don’t write as much as I used to. Still a good place to vent.
A flourish, hmm? The proper response when a turd hits the water with a plunk is to flush it. Vox populi, honey.
