Personal Blogs

[Taylor Hewitt]

I was wondering what percent you think personal blogs take up in the blogosphere? Because a lot of people think that blogs are used mainly to talk about tech or political stuff, when in reality personal blogs are much more common I think.

I believe personal blogs are the majority of actual 'real' blogs. Leaving scrapers out of the equation.

Believe me, there are more people talking about how long the line was at the bank today, and their 3 year old taking a poop, than any other kind of blog.
Blogs give a voice to every wanna be comedienne, and political analyst who would normally be booed off the stage. *Yawn*

Very few people are actually entertaining. I think it comes off better if you just talk normally without all the cutesy stuff, unless it's just another "Cutesy" blog.





Sorry I dozed off just thinking about it.
Lastly, I have seen many different sources that say if you take the sheer numbers of blogs, and divide them by the number of people that read blogs, it comes out to the average blog gets 1 reader a day.
I'm sure that doesn't take into account all of the "Good ideas" that have been left unattended, or people that just lost interest, but still remain out there, sucking up bandwidth.

I always wondered, how many free hosted blogs are registered out there, yet haven't been updated in months?
There should be a filter that will alert you, "Hey..you started this blog in Jan. 2006, and haven't been back. Either do something with it, or it will be deactivated in 7 days".

I have personal blog, through this I can express what I want to say without hurting other people.

I think that would be a great idea. I've seen people with blog names that I wanted that hadn't done anything with them at all. Where's the justice in that?

Off with their hands. JJ

I think if a blog has not been modified, in the free group, then the name reverts back to available.

I agree with you, BingoBalls... most of the blogs I see are personal blogs which are more interesting to read...
