Old Blog Waste Land

I decided to take a look at additional Blogger blogs to get a feel for who are my blogging neighbors. Sooo, I selected "next" numerous times to go on to the blogs that come sequentially after mine. What I found was a no mans land of abandoned blogs. Many hadn't been updated since 2011...what!? Blogs updated this year were few and far between. What's up with that? I am guessing that people jumped on the blogging bandwagon with hopes of perhaps having a post go viral, creating a pop cultural meme, or hopes of earning some bucks by monetizing. However, once they found there was actually some work that went into blogging, they said "au revoir". So to those abandoned blogs I say RIP.
