Kaput since October 2005. Had a few brief flickers of inspired genius but now just sits there as an homage of something that could've been fabulous.

Rather a sad day when Fredrik left this one to mothball. It's still an invaluable resource for those interested in starting a business blog. [farewell to blogging letter]

Katherine Stone, why don't you answer my emails? (She was once head of Coca Cola Experiential Marketing or something lilac that.) I Googled your name and came up with old posts. You've vanished, without a "farewell to blogging" post. Last post: Feb. 2006. Orphaned.

* Getupgrrl wrote Chez Miscarriage (after her child was born, she
stopped blogging and I believe the blog archives went away.)
goodbye letter not archived; this is: "Chez Miscarriage hangs up her blog"
* Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things (his employers were unhappy
with his blogging)
* Multidimensional Me --Koan Bremner shut down her public blog and
de-mounted the archives. That chapter's over.

News Cat blog (aka Bitch Kittie) looks abandoned even though it says, in a post of September 26, 2006, that it's not: "Abandoned blogs make baby Jesus cry".
"Abandoned blog"
Jasmyin says: "Yes, I abandoned it for a while. Didn’t really have the time to bother about my blog, which is not that good."
Sterling Camden says:
One of the most widely observed blog abandonments occurred when dead20 shut down, apparently due to a traffic storm that followed the outing of the identity of its author, "skeptic". The page now says only "we'll be back".
orcology began a promisingly insightful blog in May 2006, but hasn't posted again since June 2006. No reason given.
