Where is everyone?

October 30th, 2009

There was a time, not so long ago when I could switch on my old ‘puter in the morning and have a flood of stuff to read on all my favourite ‘blogs’. [I still hate that word].

I have around two hundred sites in my reader, ranging from the impossibly esoteric, to the brilliant rantings of a foul mouthed guinea pig.  No one can accuse me of being narrow minded.

On an average morning, I would find twenty to thirty articles to read and that would keep me happy for at least five minutes.

Now what do I find?

If I am lucky, there will be ten.  And that’s on a good day.

Where the hell is everyone gone?

Has everyone said everything there is to say?  Is everyone too wrapped up in trying to stay alive during ‘our current financial blip’?  Or have people just gotten bored with the whole business?

Is the on-line scribbler a dying breed? 

Am I an endangered species?

Hello?
