On blogging

Has the rest of web 2.0 taken away from blogging or is it simply that all the bloggers whose blogs I regularly read have lives and therefore have less time to blog? I'm not trying to guilt anyone here. I'm just pointing out that the blogs I started out reading a couple of years ago don't exist anymore because the authors have other hobbies to keep themselves occupied. User generated content depends on exact that - the user generating content. It stands to reason if the users get bored, or move on to something else, the content goes away. I guess this isn't any different than if a company goes bankrupt and halts production. I'm just upset that in the last two months I've deleted at least a half dozen blogs from my bookmarks because they haven't been updated in several months (or the authors themselves deleted it). That's my rant for now. Please don't take it personally. I'm just bored and can't sleep.
