Yesterday I wrote on the new Bloggers not really being focused on the goal or idea of Blogging. This is kinda dismaying; leaving the landscape of the web ever littered with dead Blogs. Now, there is a growing trend of Pro-Bloggers that are letting their Blogs die a slow death. To be sure, Blogging is not for the faint of heart, as the level of commitment is pretty high, and the pressure great to remain popular or relevant. There are, and always will be, the new stars that enter the niche.
As I move about the Blogosphere looking for the next piece of inspiration, I am profoundly affected by the number and quality of people who have just given up on the idea of changing the world. One can understand the occasional drop-out: life is not always predictable. But it would appear that the growing trend is just to walk away, leaving the servers to hum along on their own. I’ve become accustomed to seeing Joe Blog neglect his Blog, but now when I look to the leaders of tech for a direction, or to other leaders for discussion, I get a three-month old post claiming they have gone to the beach for the weekend ………. I guess never to return.
When I dropped in on the “Blog to end all Blogs“ (no names mentioned here,) I was surprised to learn that they had moved on to other adventures, citing the fact that their Blog was not profitable enough, as they had only earned $40,000.00 the year before. I’m thinking to myself, “with an Alexa rating nearly as high as Google? I don’t get it!”. I mean, I can understand that the bills have to be paid; but wrap your brain around the leverage you have, and the opinions you influence, when your Blog reaches that high a level! The degree of apathy is a little much for me.
Blogging gives you a voice that can be heard by millions. You & I can change the world and make a difference from this platform. I don’t think this should be dismissed haphazardly.
What difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness? * Sean Penn quoted from “The Thin Red Line” *
For a final thought, I would like to turn it over to Bryan Thompson for a more down to earth prospective! Click here if you dare!!!
