Is Blogging Dead?



I am beginning to think it is.

Frankly, the casual blogger has turned to twitter & facebook et al to post random thoughts where as “blogging” has been taken over by the semi-professional journalist and politico. Those folks that just post when the mood strikes them are dwindling. For many reasons – there just ain’t much to blog about because the above folks have kind of hired folks to scour the web (or just created bots) and do nothing more than collect multiple snippets and smash them together into a blog or blog post.

Dunno – maybe the dead tree empires finally got the message and are now simply collecting dead bits. I swear – I cannot identify a “news” website that can hold my attention for more than . . .OH LOOKIE! IZISMILE UPDATED!!!!!

Seriously – by the time it hits MSNBC it’s all over the TV news. CNN? Seriously? On lines is so 15 minutes ago. Meghan McCain’s blog is May 19th old!!!!

So, how does one attract eye-balls? Oh, it’s easy:

There – if that doesn’t up my Google hits I don’t know what will.

All I know is that I either have to get edgy, or publish nude photos. I’m going edgy.

So, I’d like to give you a “free safe” that is filled with a “horde of US Coins” all you need to do is forward a “handling and shipping fee” of $15,000 to my PayPal account and I will send you a safe and some coins. Some have increased in value over 400% in the last four years!!! ($.25 x 400% = about $1 unless you compound) Call now! Quantities limited, void where prohibited, you mileage WILL vary, taxes, tags, title and delivery are extra.
