RSSWhen Can We Declare a Blog Dead?
by Yvonne | May 24th, 2008 @ 1:14am | No Comments
My RSS subscriptions are littered with blogs caught in the ether between life and death. Blogs that I loved and read religiously, and keep in my feed list in the hopes that they may one day wake up from the coma. Sometimes I’m rewarded:
-
Greg Djerejian just made his first post in over four months, though it was mostly to announce that he’s not dead.
-
Girl from auntie isn’t dead either, making her first post in five months today.
-
And six months after Frolic and Detour went to the Big Wordpress Installation in the Sky, it was reincarnated as Things What Things and has been going strong since.
Other times I wonder how long I can continue subscribing to a silent blog before I tread into Terri Schiavo territory.
Eight months? Nearly two years?
That last linked blog is one of mine, obviously meant to be the sister site to this here Faces of Yve. I have plans for reviving it, much as I resuscitated Yve at the beginning of this year, it’s just a matter of finding the time.
And its purpose.
Blogs fall by the wayside for many reasons, including but not limited to lack of time, lack of vision, and just plain lack of things to say. But occupying space on the internet means that someone has to keep paying rent. As long as the domain gets renewed and the site still exists, the odds are not too bad that one day, the blog will be back.
