« Doug Rushkoff in Austin | Main | Social Media Club: Social Media and Politics » Litterati?Chip Rosenthal just sent a link to an article in the Austin Statesman that I missed just before SXSW Interactive, called "We lived and died by our blogs; now, not so much." It's an odd article that tries to be ominous/prophetic about the fact that some bloggers drift away from blogging, as though that was a big deal. One interesting quote: "According to research firm Gartner Inc., more than 200 million abandoned blogs litter the Internet." To me that's like saying that books or periodicals litter libraries. People will stop writing, distributing, reading, etc. in any medium, and what does that suggest? I think it's proof of life – as living entities, we change and evolve and, yes, sometimes we move on from some of our pursuits. [Link] jon posted this at 4:49 PM |

Anyway those folks love to try and get out there and say "see, all those fancy humanistic things never work out"...there are at least that many 'abandonded' corporate websites too...digital pollution. what about the show and moves nobody watches...where's the amber alert on those??? ;)
