Great stuff. I see so many dead blogs sitting out there and I always figure it’s because the people writing them ran out of things to say, and probably shouldn’t have started in the first place. I love blogging, but I figure that there could come a day where I just can’t keep up with 3 blogs on a consistent basis. But I hope I will always blog in some form.

Adam, I think it’s very important what you said about your blog not being a chore. Its very obvious in the energy and quality of content when a Blog Author is not into it anymore.

Have a Huge 2010 Adam!

The growth of additional places to create content, in smaller chunks, has moved what used to be link-based posts to other sites. What that leaves for blogs are more in-depth, thoughtful articles. (Or at least, that’s what I try to do) I recognize many of the original A-list is posting less often, but there are some tremendous authors outside of the tech beltway, and they continue to do a great job. Whenever I see a post on The Future Buzz in my Google Reader, I stop reading fast and make sure I see exactly what’s going on. Even the ego guys don’t always make me do that.

Dead on in points 3 and 4.

I’ve dropped off to 2-3 posts a week since starting off at 5 earlier this year. So not totally off the radar but definitely a small drop in consistency. I’d argue it’s made the strength of the posts I do put out much stronger though.

Ego traps absolutely work…just not on those so bombarded that they can’t notice if someone talks about them.
