DBlume says Aug 23, 2010 05:09AM for those of you who've stopped blogging. " that’s when I started to panic ", Carr on Microblogging.
DBlume says Aug 23, 2010 05:10AM He links to Laporte's No one noticed my microblogs werent being posted.
DBlume is Aug 23, 2010 05:12AM very thankful to neonepiphany, halophoenix and davidd for continuing to blog.
DBlume Aug 23, 2010 05:25AM quotes, " A million blogs withered and died as their authors stopped taking the time to process their thoughts."
davidd has Aug 23, 2010 06:59AM rarely, if ever, "processed" his thoughts. I just spew 'em out, and let you guys help me "fine tune" my ramblings thru your feedback!
davidd has Aug 23, 2010 07:16AM enjoyed reading several of Carr's TechCrunch posts. But, he gets PAID for writing rambling blog entries that the rest of us write for free?
davidd wonders Aug 23, 2010 07:17AM what it is that generates huge fan bases (and income-generating potential) for some writers and not for others?
halophoenix Aug 23, 2010 12:16PM could blog about that topic, davidd! In the interim, thank YOU, dblume, for reading!
pastilla thinks Aug 23, 2010 02:42PM a lot of people grew wise to the "neo-narcissistic" (to use his term) timesuck/energysuck of blogging, too.
pastilla says Aug 23, 2010 02:54PM (I'm not referring to many of the people in this group who are doing vital, interesting things.)
pastilla says Aug 23, 2010 03:12PM cool, eh? I decided to become a (digital recluse) in the middle of this plurk.
halophoenix says Aug 23, 2010 03:30PM Leo's problem - one he's slowly learning - is that broadcast != social media
halophoenix says Aug 23, 2010 03:30PM so while he feels like he's been shouting into the abyss, it's because he's discouraged interaction by not responding/engaging people.
halophoenix says Aug 23, 2010 03:30PM so of course no one said anything when his buzz posts vanished. They all both assumed someone else would say so, or that it was on purpose.
pastilla says Aug 23, 2010 05:47PM there definitely is that. People feeling entitled to and assuming celeb status prematurely.
Vanlal is Aug 23, 2010 06:08PM a hopeless fanboi but must say that he appreciates stephenfry for his engagement with socialmedia.
