I'm gratified by this news, but there are a lot of dead blogs (5+ years with no posts or more) and some squatting going on. I'd love to be able to petition Google for one of these, but apparently the policy is that whoever registers it has it for perpetuity.
- kree10 15y agoOne of my favorite time-wasters is to think of a word or phrase, tack on ".blogspot.com" and see what's there. I rarely find active blogs this way. Just now I tried http://chainsaw.blogspot.com/ http://chainsaw.blogspot.com/ and found a quintessential blogger blog with a single decade-old entry. I'd love to read a followup post but I know it will never happen. Very occasionally I'll run into something like http://grasses.blogspot.com/ http://grasses.blogspot.com/ - abandoned, and perfect that way. There can be a kind of weird beauty in those forgotten blogs.
