Saturday, February 28, 2009 Randomness Turns Seven As of today, Randomness has been around for seven years! Back when I first started, few people knew what a blog was, much less why someone might want to read one. Flash forward to 2009 and print media is slowly transitioning onto the web, for better or worse, and political pundits give bloggers real credence. And with the advent of Twitter, news outlets love picking up stories about "micro-blogging." (Which, in my personal opinion, is a little ridiculous - the term strikes me as rather forced.) But happy birthday to Randomness - who knows where the internet will be in another seven years? Labels: blogging ^ Top | 3:55 PM | | | Sunday, March 23, 2008 Randomness Turns Six Back in 2002, hardly anyone knew what blogging was--when I mentioned starting a blog, one of my friends asked, "But why would anyone want to read about what you're doing?" Flash forward six years, and it's rare for anyone not to have--or tried to have--a blog, probably allowing it to die within a few posts (in 2004, the best stats I could find indicated that 26% of blogs were abandoned upon creation, and 40% abandoned within 126 days). So it's a belated bloggy birthday. In fact, I nearly missed it myself. As of February 28, Randomness is officially six years old--not a bad amount of time to be writing.

We're now back in business, and I promise not to lapse so severely again. Here are some highlights from the last few weeks:

Back in 2002, hardly anyone knew what blogging was; when I mentioned to one of my friends that I was starting a blog, she responded, "Who's going to want to read your thoughts on the internet?" And now almost everyone has one, or has started one and let it die shortly after. Many people get their news and associated commentary from them. The internet's definitely changed.
