Blame Facebook

Submitted by LS on Mon, 07/27/2009 - 3:25pm.

Some have wondered or asked about the dearth of fresh content here lately. I blame facebook for sucking the daily life out of this blog. Facebook is now beyond the critical mass where much of the posting of new and interesting information, quick analysis, discussion and debate that previously happened on scattered blogs now happens there. I hope to rectify this situation and get back to somewhat regularly putting new things here, but I won't guarantee it.

Is individual blogging a dying art due to the rise of the huge social networking sites and interactive niche sites where discussion that previously happened on blogs often now happens?
