bloggy birthday to me!

According to a 2008 survey by Technorati, which runs a search engine for blogs, only 7.4 million out of the 133 million blogs the company tracks had been updated in the past 120 days. That translates to 95 percent of blogs being essentially abandoned, left to lie fallow on the Web, where they become public remnants of a dream — or at least an ambition — unfulfilled.

props to Gerry Canavan for the quote
Hey! Guess what? Today marks a full four years of blogging! Four years ago today, after letting my new (and empty) blog sit idle for over two months, I was finally overcome with irritation at our former Decider, and I let forth with a gushing of bile. For the most part, I havent stopped since, nor do I intend to.

Here's to the blogosphere!

Indeed, I've been at it at Blurred Clarity since March 05 but on other sites since 01.

It's amazing the volume of dead blog, you stumble upon them, or think Dave about the blogs you used to link to and are now dead.

Fascinating stuff, happy birthday.
