A New Blog Trend: Not Blogging
An observation.
I’ve noticed a new trend among my friends on the web: they’re closing their blogs/online journals or merely no longer posting to them. Just like every big internet fad before it, I think it’s finally starting to stabilize to a reasonable level. It mirrors fairly closely the trend of everyone creating a personal website in the late 90′s. Everyone wanted to create one for the heck of it, and there were plenty of free services to meet the demand, but the initial charm eventually wore away when people realized maintaining one took effort. Most of them end up being deleted for lack of activity, and then the free shared webhost services started to die out. I think we’re starting to see the very same thing with weblogs.
And the world keeps on spinning.
Your mom keeps on spinning.
Zing!
