From Creation to Abandonment

Published 1 year, 4 months agoIf you believe, as I do, that the blogosphere ought to be about conversation and sharing information, as opposed to merely a new manner of media distribution and/or prospecting for gold, then you should be concerned about the high attrition rate in the blogosphere. If you want to have conversation, then there must be others to converse with. Encouraging new bloggers and promoting blogging as a means of communication is in the best interest of all legitimate bloggers, from the top of the A-List to the very bottom of blogger’s hill.

Thought-provoking, BD. A significant number of the online blogger friends I’d made around the same time I had the pleasure of making your acquaintance are no longer maintaining blogs. (Top of my list is Andrew Careaga; I still haven’t quite gotten over his retirement.)
It makes me wonder if I (we?) could’ve made a difference in ensuring these bloggers would still be blogging today.
Great minds think alike:^)
There are going to be 100 million blogs online this year, of those we are told about 2% represent faith blogs.
I have no idea if that is true, the number could be higher - for some of us such as yourself, encouragement is a gift, some of us have to be more concientious. Yeah, I wonder too.
One or two couldn’t have done all the encouraging, but I know I wouldn’t be blogging if it hadn’t been for wonderful encouragers such as yourself, I wouldn’t be online without you guys.
