Oh, the tragedy of the abandoned blog

Bestblogintheworld.blogspot.com, updated only seven times before throwing in the towel in early 2004, contains final entries noting, "Im a playa, im a playa," and then simply "l8r."

Myview.blogspot.com couldn't take it anymore on May 1, 2001 (R.I.P.) with a jarring final update from the front lines: "I was a little horrified to learn recently that Circuit City was no longer carrying VHS tapes."

And who could forget Importantthoughts.blogspot.com, which signed off with one last post on Feb. 18, 2004, which seemed to indicate there was essentially nothing left to say. "He's like, 'Do you know the best way to keep your youthful looks?' I'm like 'No, how?' And he's like, 'Lots of sex.' "

With an estimated 100,000 new blogs created daily on topics ranging from what people ate for lunch to what their cats ate for lunch, it's no wonder that some industry insiders are saying the blogging phenomenon has finally reached a tipping point.
