At this rate, pretty soon it’s going to be a regular ghost town in blog-ville. During Traveling Geeks/Paris in December I was faced with a challenge, which is that even some of the primo bloggers are deserting the blogosphere for other territory[1]. Like many of them are almost exclusively twittering now, and their blogs are falling into disrepair. And normal folk are inhabiting Facebook rather than suffer the trouble of writing a long blog post even once in a while. Have you noticed this? Are you spending your time keeping up with tweets rather than reading blogs?
Here’s what I experienced with respect to the Traveling Geeks crew.

[1] My advice to clients is “Go where your clients and prospects are.” So if you’re a tech writer, and all your clients are spending their time on Facebook, you must be on Facebook. And if they’re tweeting about you, you’d better be on Twitter.
