Death of Blogging

It is no surprise that blogging has rapidly declined as a popular form of online communication. The speed of life for most folks (and our laziness to think and write clearly) makes the micro-blogging world of Facebook and Twitter perfect for quick and constant communication. While I enjoy reading what is on everyone else's minds on Facebook, I still don't interact much and I doubt that I ever will. So here's the question, for the other 2 people who have read this blog - shall I give this blog a nice funeral? Or, should I re-invent this blog with renewed focus and begin updating weekly again? I think blogs have their place but only if they are updated often and the content is worth reading. So give me an opinion. A funeral or resurrection? My blog hangs in the balance.

I am thinking of doing the same, but haven't been able to pull the trigger. I vote we both quit fooling ourselves and have a double funeral.

Hey, Scott, I read your blog occasionally. I don't even get online very often, except for specific searches, & that sort of thing.
