Where Did All the Bloggers Go?

Facebook, apparently.

One of the things I love about blogging is that there is a community, of sorts, which builds  up between people who are interested in similar things. If you search for things that interest you, and start checking out the blogs on the subject, you can occasionally find like-minded people with whom you make a connection.

In fact, I have a few people (some of whom I have met personally ... some not) whom I consider as friends on the basis of our bloggy interactions. Unfortunately, a few of those people have ceased blogging, altogether. I keep up with what they are up to, kinda, through Facebook. But, that is a pretty bare-bones version of their lives, if you know what I mean.

I miss the details, to be quite honest.

The thing is, I would never have met these people if they weren't bloggers. Google searches on "bicycle commuting" don't connect you to Facebook pages.

I miss you guys. And I wonder who else I am never even coming across because of the whole "social media" craze.

Anyway ... I know that it's no longer cool, but I will continue blogging (and posting links to the blog on FB, by the way). Hope to see you, soon.
