Maybe some people just don't have an infinite appetite for self-promotion. I've had a blog for over a decade - nearly 1700 articles worth. I refer to my posts sometimes when it's strictly in context for a particular conversation, but I don't make a habit of posting links on Twitter and Google+ and HN and Reddit and FSM knows where else just because I think a post is so awesome that everyone I know (and even more that I don't) must read it immediately. If they find it in their RSS feed, that's great. If they hear about it from a mutual friend, that's great too. If somebody else wants to repost it, that's fine too; at least it means one person besides the author thought it was worth that. Otherwise, I feel that I'd be demanding too much of my friends' attention by making sure they see links to the same damn thing in a half-dozen places before its quality has been vetted by a single other soul. I'm hardly humble - I do have a blog after all - but I'm not that much of a narcissist. There is no problem with people who are "too quiet" about their blogs. Au contraire.
