Blogging, as we know it or at least as I have known it, is dead. The visitors to my site have gone down to virtually nothing. And without visitors, there IS nothing. The blog is simply outmoded.If there is still room on the planet for real human thought rather than just thought bites, and bytes, I will look for it. I may still blog or comment from time to time. But like a dying out dinosaur, it is time to just walk away.
It is lamentable. To see us use our brain less. But we will evolve into a thoughtless society used to spur of the moment gratification. To take two or three minutes is untold of pain snd agony.
We have the time no more, we deeply maintain.
We have the time for TV? We have the time for sleep? Goodnight. And good luck. And success to MJ and Eroswings, the last two standing bloggers that I know of, And to Andrea at Colouring Outside The lines.
do you still visit other blogs, sugar? that helps sometimes. xoxoo
ReplyDeleteSavannah: No, I don't, as you know. Or at least very rarely. Before I had this stroke, I used to visit most.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need to start!
But I still think blogging is on its death bed getting final rites while our Farcebooked and Twit(ter) society watches blogging die.
That's sort of why I changed mine to a more focused sort of blog. May not work, but you never know...
ReplyDeleteAndrea: Thanks. But I don't WANT to be more focused. I almost always write about something in the news, or something that's happening in MY litte life. If people don't want to take the time, then they can FB themselves into oblivion. I,m not going to do a song & dance 0r try to slay the white rabbit or go to FB or "tweet" things.
ReplyDeleteAndrea: Litte is little. I,m should be I'm. 0r should be Or.
ReplyDeleteHey! I'm already on Farcebook! What am I saying! I can play Fishville and Mafia Wars and solve all the world's problems by Tweetin them away and never actually thinking! It's like, if you're a painter, doing half a painting! Or if you're a newspaper journalist, writing half a story!
ReplyDeleteI'm still blogging and reading blogs... just not as often as I did before I had the twins.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Savannah's comment. You need to give if you want to keep getting.
Sorry Anna. It just seems sometimes like I'm Elvis and everyone's left the building.
ReplyDeleteGet your arse back in here.......... gawds sake.... and dont blob for anyone but yourself, comments and people visiting ones blob is wonderful and amazing and sorta makes one smile, but I blob as a diary for me lads when they are older...... on saying that, I aint blobbed for weeks and weeks LOL
ReplyDeletemuch love

Girl: (Marmite Toasty): I blob for the exchanges of emotions and ideas like this. You've got to know someone is listening.
ReplyDeleteMarmite Toasty: More Mysteries of Blogland: I cannot seem to publish all your comments But thanks for the good,logical words.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has NOT left the building. There are still very active bloggers out there. You just have to look.
ReplyDeleteIt's very much a give and take. There's a much higher chance of others visiting you and commenting if you reciprocate.
Anna: Your words sting, but they ring true. Thanks. I think a lot of people HAVE left, but obviously not all. I will go out and look.
ReplyDeleteAnna: the people that USED to visit before, by and large, HAVE left.
ReplyDeleteBut some, like you, are still here. There IS a beautiful and reassuring constant there. The world as we know it is NOT falling apart.
It IS changing. And we have to change with it.
