Dead Blogs
The Razor recently passed it’s 3rd anniversary. It was born in the Post-911 Explosion of blogs in Oct 2001, received it’s first (and only) Instalanch in Jan 2002 – and has soldiered on as one by one other blogs have disappeared from the blogosphere.
This got me to wondering: What is your favorite dead blog?
My favorite Dead Blog is Zach Barbera’s “Voice From the Commonwealth” – which you can see here (should we call blogs that haven’t been updated in a long time but still appear “zombies”?). Zach was (is – he’s not dead) a good writer with an eye for the absurdity of politics. As a Libertarian in MA, I guess it came with the territory. “VOC” provided a unique perspective on the news that I miss, although Dean Esmay has appeared to take Zach’s place in my daily reading. Still, Dean writes from Michigan, which isn’t quite the left-wing ghetto as MA is, and I still miss the unique musings found only at “VOC”.
So, this being the blogosphere, here’s the chance to speak out: what is your favorite “Dead Blog”?
The only rule is that the blog must be inactive for over 1 year. This disqualifies Den Beste’s USS Clueless.
Cutting Edge Political Commentary The Razor:
[...] I posted this topic last year on The Razor, and thought I would put it to Dean’s much larger audience. What is your favorite dead blog? We will posit that no posts in 6 months constitutes “death”. Link if possible. [...]
