The end is nigh..?

The writing's on the wall..
well it won't be online, that's for sure as, apparently blogging will reach its peak next year, according to technology predictions by analysts Gartner.

The analysts said that during the middle of next year the number of blogs will level out at about 100 million.

The firm has said that 200 million people have already stopped writing their blogs.

Gartner analyst Daryl Plummer said the reason for the levelling off in blogging was due to the fact that most people who would ever start a web blog had already done so.

"A lot of people have been in and out of this thing," Mr Plummer said.

"Everyone thinks they have something to say, until they're put on stage and asked to say it."

Last month blog tracking firm Technorati reported that 100,000 new blogs were being created every day, and 1.3 million blog posts were written.

Technorati is tracking more than 57 million blogs, of which it believes around 55% are "active" and updated at least every three months.

So is this the end..?
Naahh, fuck it, I have too much bile to get off my chest, I'll still be here next year (sorry, about that). Mind you, I've been doing this on and off for two and a half years now (around March/April 2004 was the first version of this blog, check the archives!!), surely writers block will kick in soon..?
