Why Bloggers Stop Blogging

Hugh Macleod gets a sense that some veteran bloggers are writing less these days. Truth be told, writing is hard work – harder after the initial flame of enthusiasm begins to burn lower.

    Are you trying to get a point across with this post being one of your shortest in recent memory?

    Or is it time for a vacation Mark?

    Well, I just took a vacation so not sure I need another one so soon. :)

    Actually, the post is an “Aside” – a plugin for mini-posts. Of course, I could just be tired of blogging…:)

    This short post is a great example of “click bait” and something that would be better put on Twitter :)

    Mark, I’ve noticed the big drop in postings but my jury is still out on whether or not it is related to the summer holidays. I’m betting that posts pick up as soon as everyone is back at their desks / home offices after September 15.

    Secondly, I strongly believe bloggers are suffering from Web 2.0 overload. So much time has been spent reporting on the latest greatest app but not enough time has gone by to determine the long-term winners and losers. As such, bloggers are getting bored of reporting “what’s new” and are probably getting into a phase where they want to report “what’s working”.

    I know from my personal reading as of late that I’m simply passing over most new app announcements and focusing more on finding winners that I can actually incorporate into my business.

    Best,
    George
