When the perception of what’s out there is filtered through so few sources, then it’s bound to be skewed. The blogosphere is as vibrant as ever. The blogs that have staying power, that are well done, are still there. Finding them through search engines is not going to provide you with the instant discovery you’re looking for. HackerNews and other niche sites, word-of-mouth, and serendipity, play a bigger role in blog discovery for me. It’s a slow process but the results are stronger. There’s no instant tech-effort solution to this in my opinion. If you want a good blog to stick around, express your thanks and gratitude to the blogger. Buy them a coffee. Encourage them. Go now to your favourite blogger and send them a message of appreciation.
