The Blogging Revolution is Over

Posted on January 25, 2007 by Gene

Everywhere I look, bloggers are deciding to pack it in. Just yesterday, one of my faves — The FAF — signed off for the last time. Last week, it was my cousin Kirk. Other sites I used to read regularly are being updated less and less frequently… and that includes my own.
When blogging burst onto the scene, it was as if anyone could have a printing press. But everyday, ordinary people are beginning to realize that the unlimited capacity of a blog is far too much to fill. These days, the big blogs are owned and run by large media companies. The new version of the neighborhood newspaper has gone away just as the original did.
As for myself, I have such a complete lack of, well, a life that you can be sure of continued entries on this blog. There is always something to complain about, always something that pisses me off. Never fear!
