Over the past month, it seems that fewer and fewer people have been visiting this blog. I’m not sure if comments have dropped off or not, as 27th street has never enjoyed lots of comments. Perhaps this is a blip, an anomaly, part of a cycle. Or perhaps the usual suspects just got bored with my usual humdrum posts, comments, obscure music video clips, fungi photos, rants, pictures of our insanely beautiful Newfoundland dogs, and so on.
Some folks I know who have blogged in the past have recently packed it in. Is this a trend? Are people moving away from blogging? If so, perhaps me and a small circle of friends will have the blog space all to ourselves. I don’t go out of my way to build visitors to this space. The way I see it, those who share my interests will wind up finding me. When I began my first blog, Mister Anchovy, my idea was simply to use it to record things that interested me, or ideas on my mind or whatever. That a bunch of people started actually coming back regularly was quite a surprise.
I just couldn’t help but notice the trend line seems to be driving downward at an alarming angle. Man the lifeboats.

I’ve noticed the same decline in readership around my place. And that fewer of my circle are posting with regularity. Sometimes it’s just you and I around the blogosphere, kiddo!
Awesome, happy to have you as a partner in crime.
I think more people are spending more time with technology…but in “newer” ways .
STAGG
Rats! You mean I’m archaic all over again?
Wow, look at all those responses….yay!
Maybe more people are using a feed reader like G-reader (as I do) – I guess those would not show up in your stats? I still read a lot of blogs but I’m lazy, I like them all in the same place so there’s not too much clicking for me to do. Maybe people are just getting more savvy/lazy like me?
You could be right. I use a reader too.
Never bored! I’m just not blogging or visiting blogs with as much frequency as I use to. Sometimes life just gets too hectic.
I read on RSS anyway.
Winter will fix that! I have more to say on the matter but I think I’ll go out and enjoy the warmth and sun while I can
I think we all are busy with various things. For me, I tend to move from one interest to another and when I do that, something has to suffer. Most of us are still here.
