I think Blogging is dying.
A lot of the people I used to share with have slowly dropped out.
Fewer people, fewer new blog entries, less general traffic.
Sure there are a few of us diehards out here slogging and flogging and blogging. But it just seems to me it has become less relevant.
It requires spelling skills, and more attention span than a gnat, unlike twitter.
And then I heard the stroke of doom. The Catholic Church is encouraging priests to take up blogging. If The Church encourages it, that means it has gone so main stream that no self respecting churmudgeon could continue. After all, sharing space with the worlds largest organized group of pedophiles just isn't cool.
Maybe they will just keep to themselves......
Oh well, I guess I'll stick around for a while.

You are right that some folks are less prolific than they used to be. I had to go on a blog hunt to find new logs for my blogroll... and I did, and now I have a much larger pool of blogs I find interesting.
It helps that Google Reader delivers them to me instead of having to go checking all the blogs every day.
NCP: Yeah, I just started looking around and picked up a couple of new blogs to read. I have just been too damn lazy to work at it.
I need to update my blogroll, too. Many of my friends have either stopped blogging or have taken their blogs private.
I try to write at least once a week, just to keep in the habit while working on the screen play. (This is the same screen play that I started last year...)
Renn: Yeah, I have to admit I am a total slacker on my blogroll. and I haven't written diddly crap lately. I'd like to claim I am too bust, but it would be a total lie.
Seems like Facebook is the place to be... that's where most of the bloggers I follow are...
I am slow to blog... but I will keep at it.
I'm no where near gone... just slowing down in my old age. ;)
~grey: yeah, a lot of the people I used to read have shown up on facebook, but I'm not really into Facebook.
Sue: And I will faithfully follow your blog(s) as long as you are around.
