i think most have moved onto social networking sites (since i think a lot of the earlier “blogs” were xangas.) it’s really sad. if you need any help, please let me know, carlos! tell me which country to start at. ;)

by the way, i must say (even if i have/haven’t already) that i really do like your color scheme …

Hi Denise! :o)

Thank you for your thoughts. When you say 90% that is pretty sad. And I do think that maybe a LOT of people joined those social networking sites like Facebook to actually avoid having to write more serious, personal stuff… those that abandoned their blogs?

But like you mentioned, I can see it as a combination of myspace, facebook, plus a loss of interest in blogging altogether.

a lot of my cousins and high school classmates had xangas and livejournals when blogging was getting more attention (i thought it was so weird when i heard matt lauer say “blog”). i was excited b/c now i wouldn’t feel so bad about showing what i do to people i know in ‘real life’. anyway, now 90% of them have stopped writing. i guess it’s a combination of myspace, facebook, and loss of interest
