The Elephant's Graveyard: 2.72MM abandoned blogs

| | Comments (0)

A new study of blogs and bloggers suggest there are about 5MM blogs out there--only thing is, roughly 2.72MM of them have been abandoned and are floating around like spare parts in space.
Does this mean bloggers try out blogs--date, let's say--before growing experienced enough to commit?

Mediapost's interpetation of this data--they say it means no one is paying attention. Axcording to the Mediapost writer, Perseus COO James Henning said, "The average blogger is a teen-age girl who updates her friends and classmates on her life, with words and spellings not quite as informal as instant messaging, Perseus said. Updates are done twice a month."
