Back 2 years ago it was easy to find the cool group, get involved, and even chat on the phone. Now, more people are writing for bigger magazine style blogs, and those are way harder to break through. I don't get Facebook at all and I wish people would stop doing stuff to my wall! I’ve been writing and rewriting a post about this.

I have lost my own funk when it comes to my blog. I was doing so well for the longest time, and for some reason, I've lost my spark. I don't know what to do to get it back or light a new one, and I'm not even sure if I want to. I love having my awesome blog friends and feeling like I'm part of a community, but I just don't know where my blog fits anymore. I'm not a mom, I'm not a wife, I have nothing special to talk about on my blog. Ugh. Blogging has become way too trendy. I have lost my own funk when it comes to my blog.

The more the merrier. Oversaturation does create sets of challenges, though. I feel sorry for bloggers just starting, simply because I think it will be tougher to get a toehold in the community (I have had a struggle with it and I felt like I was a very late starter in 2005!) As for Facebook, I have the lamest high school class of all time, I swear. NO ONE is on there for me to stalk, dang it!!! (I would LOVE to lurk on the blogs of former classmates!)

They were updated pretty frequently with photos of their kids and such. A tad boring, but a good way for everyone to keep in touch. Ever since Facebook hit the scene last year, almost everyone of those people have either abandoned their blog entirely, or update about once every six months or so. I am sure that will happen to a bunch of the people that you came across. :) While I have a Facebook account, I mainly use it for email. Blogging is time-consuming enough. Though I must admit I am curious about the technique you discovered... I have found that two years ago, everyone I know (and their dogs) had a blog.
