I've got this theory that there's an inverse relationship between the frequency with which a blogger blogs and the interest (to me, at least) of what they write. Examples offered in evidence:
OK, I started to exaggerate a bit towards the end there, but hopefully you get my point.
One key reason, I think is that there are too many people (on my blogroll, at least) for whom blogging itself is just about all there is to talk about. So they sit there blogging and reading blogs and writing blog-related software without giving the impression that they have any interest in other things that are going on in the world.
Blogging has reached its inflection point and its rise has suddenly become news, but that won't last long. And when it fades from the popular headlines, I fear those people with not much to post except for self-referential blogs about blogs won't be left with much of interest to say. On which point, I'd better stop indulging in the very practice I'm complaining about – bye!
