farewell to blogging letters

"sic transit gloria bloggi" Omniverse ends it.  May 22, 2007

 

 

POD-dy Mouth: The end is here   this blogger apparently has 34 reasons to end it.

 

  

a discovery

this blogs most recent post says

"this photo blog is slowly dying. mainly because i forget to bring my camera places these days. i’m more into sound."

 

 

 

 

Blue Soup

someone told me about this blog.  i was never a reader myself.  here is the farewell post entitled the last rant

 

 

 

 

 

oedinenya.blogspot.com 

 

i've had this blog on my blogroll for over a year and now he has finally stopped using this blog. he provides a link to a new blog he will be using as a 'bucket' for songs he writes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chartreuse (Prince Campbell) blogged for about a year I think, if not less. 

 

 

A marketing blogger who threw out a lot of hyperbolic statements about the "death of TV" and the "death of the music industry" and the hard to discern qualities of an Angelina Jolie. He did some investigation with Loren Feldman (1938 Media) and others into New Orleans disaster from hurricane Katrina, then soon after, vanished into a Paid Entry Blog. Try Googling his blog title (Chartreuse) and not many traces remain, though he was quoted in the New York Times.

Dear Readers,

 

 

You guys have done a nice job here.

 

You broke the Sandi Thom fraud story wwaayy before mainstream media caught on.

 

 

You were discussing the importance of YouTube months ago.

 

 

You sent people to New Orleans while everyone else was just talking about citizen journalism.

 

 

You figured out how to save Timex and various other businesses.

 

 

You convinced an old girlfriend to email me.

 

 

You argued about most of the great new media issues of the day

 

and other stuff but always kept it entertaining.

 

 

Thanks for bringing me along

classic example: "A hello-and-goodbye kind of post" from Dunstan aka 1976 Design.

 

 

Hello everyone. I have two very quick bits of news for you:

 

 

 

  1. I'm very proud to say that The Girlfriend recently got a job at the EFF. She'll be their new Membership Co-ordinator, and starts full-time in a couple of weeks (look out for her on their staff list page).
  2. Rather more relevant to most of you is the news that I'm going to stop posting to this site. I just don't find the time to write for it anymore, and it's rude to keep making people check for updates which never appear.

    I won't take the site down since so many people kindly point to various bits of it to illustrate coding or design issues, and if (when!) I do start blogging again I'll ensure it's at a slightly different URL, so as not to break those links.

    I must also say a big, big thank you for everyone's kind words over the last two years, it's meant an awful lot to me reading your comments and following the links back to your websites. As a very small measure of thanks I've grabbed everything from my 1976design directory (including unpublished posts and the contents of my MySQL database) and packaged it all together into a (128MB) zip file which you can grab via Bit Torrent at my download page. As with all old code I'm embarrassed about 99% of it, but it may prove useful to someone. (Just don't take what I wrote as gospel and I think you'll be fine.)

    Cheerio, thanks again, and see you soon.

when bloggers say goodbye 

 

often a blogger will do a post dedicated to explaining why he/she has decided to give up blogging indefinitely.  such letters are interesting insights into why people feel that their interest in blogging has faded like so many wilted roses.

 

 

 

 

Fredrik Wacka: CorporateBlogging.Info

Not so much an adieu to blogging as his reason for giving up CorporateBlogging.Info:

 

"This is now an archive

I have decided to focus all my attention to my own corporate blog. I started this one at a time when there were, more or less, no discussion about social media in the Swedish/Scandinavian blogosphere. Now there are and it makes more sense to be part of that.

 

We have also seen an explosion of international blogs on this subject. Whatever role I may have thought this blog could have, there are so many others doing it now. Keep on going. I read many of you!

 

But -- there's always a "but" right -- who knows what the future brings? So for the time being I'm leaving it all here as it is. Your links here won't be broken. And if you don't think it litters your feed reader too much, why not stay subscribed...?

 

Thanks for all comments, e-mails and other contacts. If you by some strange accident of life should wake up one morning and being able to read Swedish I really recommend reading my Swedish stuff :-)"
