Has Blogging Run Its Course?

  • Has blogging run its course for you?
  • Are blogging posts getting replaced by short snippets in Twitter, Facebook and flickr?
  • Has your well of blogging material run dry?
  • Are you tired of putting yourself "out there" and feeling like getting off the radar?
I can answer "yes" to all the above.

I've been blogging for 2 1/2 years. It represents a lot of time (wasted time in some people's opinion). I don't want to shut it down completely and I love my few but faithful blogging friends. For right now, I see myself posting pictures and some text. I wish I was a full fledged photographer with great equipment then I would go to a picture only blog but I'm not.

Anyway that's what I'm feeling at the moment. Everything is subject to change.

Throttle back for a bit. Sometimes I think we feel compelledto use technology, because it's there. We run technology, it does not run us.

Sometimes I don't feel like either writing or reading blogs. Sometimes I have too much to talk about! I'm with you on the photos..... I wish I could remember to bring my camera with me everywhere because sometimes you see some really weird/interesting stuff. ~ib mommy

Yes Joan, I concur.

I'm not on the Twitter bandwagon ... too time consuming, and I have just started the FB gig ... I still don't get the hype... and my blog? More like a blaah-g

My well has run dry. I don't experience too much to write about these days since I'm home more and out of work.

I've neglected my poor little blog. I more or less use it to pick on my uptight sister who likes to grandstand for attention with her comments.

It can be whatever you want it to be!
That's the beauty of blogging :)

I feel that way sometimes too. I know I don't have as much to say as I did a year or two ago. I mean, I still have opinions and such, but I've already posted them.

I feel like that too at times. I'm glad your not shutting down and I always LOVE to see your photos. Keep taking pictures and sharing them.

Holy cow I go through this all the time. I hate it, then I love it. Then I hate it and want to delete everything. But when it all comes down to it, it's a form of journaling for me. I don't like to write in a journal, so I blog. Large readership isn't important to me anymore. I appreciate anyone who comes by. But I hear you.
