Navel-gazing
John Dvorak is whinging about blogs. “Let’s start with abandoned blogs. In a white paper released by Perseus Development Corp., the company reveals details of the blogging phenomenon that indicate its foothold in popular culture may already be slipping (www.perseus.com/blogsurvey). According to the survey of bloggers, over half of them are not updating any more.”
This is a bad thing? Yes writing is hard. Yes writing for a dozen people sucks. Every blogger hits the wall where he or she must decide - is this worth it? I hit it last summer - as the dearth of postings will attest. Then guess what? I realized that deep down - even though writing is tough - this is what I do. I won’t naval gaze, or wallow in my own sainthood ala “St. Machiavelli - Patron Saint of Politicians and Mid-level Managers” . Truth be told, I want blogs to die off. As Harlan Ellison once wrote, “If you can stop writing, please by all means do so.” Me? I can’t shut up. So here I am. 2 years and I’m still here.
