I agree with Teresa, most people have a limited amount of information that causes the blogging itch, or b-itch Which creates a b-myth type situation for many bloggers…lol
Once they push past that initial stage of posting gluttony, blog-block occurs…blog-block sux

Over the past several months, I’ve cut off several daily reads.

Brownstoner is a great blog, but I don’t live in Brooklyn, and I don’t live in a brownstone. It was taking up too much time.

The Real Deal: I downloaded Firefox 2.0, which is very buggy, apparently (everyone complains about it). Around the same time, The Real Deal started posting a daily video blog. One or the other started to cause my browser to break - freeze, you know? I had enough, so I cut them out.

NY Observer blog: same thing. Breaks my browser. I have no patience for that kind of stuff.

Bloodhound blog: the same reasons listed in the original post. These guys have an elevated sense of self, plus they just drone on about the same stuff, day in and day out. Zzzzz. I mean, really.

I still love curbed, but I find it’s easy to guess who wrote which post … some posts are just weak.

Teresa, what can we say but you hold a rare spot in the blogosphere–informative and interesting content and a WIT in a class by itself. We just luv ya. Haved since day one.

REBlogGirl, thanks to MBL I found RGeek. Educational content written in an engaging way is exactly what you do. It’s gold for us tech deprived who don’t know our rss from our elbow. BTW, do you have the REBlogGirl t-shirts yet? We’re going to be on a blogging panel at Inman’s NYC Connect and we’d proudly wear one.

- - other than that your post does hit most of the reasons why I bail.

There are other blogs I love because I can keep up with new technologies and find out what’s going on(especially since the tech field moves so quickly)

I’m glad you brought this subject up because I wanted to bring up a subject which has been on my mind. Since Real Estate blogging is a new phenonmenon and I think we are all to some degree looking at new paradigms on how to use it, I was wondering if some of the realtor bloggers would be honest in expressing if they are writing for customers, other realtors, or potential customers and what they are hoping to gain from these readers.

I’m finding some of the most beautiful and informative blogs mean a lot to someone who wants to know more about a particular point of view or acquire knowledge not to be found somewhere else.

Sometimes the blogs which aren’t so “professionally crafted” with all the bells and whistles are the ones I can find golden gems of knowledge.

Blogs remind me a lot of newstand where I can be real selective about what I want to read about. I envision a time when you can search a blog by a category: such as opinions, facts, training, knowledge, pictures, sellling of products etc.

So bottom line, for me it’s still a new field and people aren’t real sure what they really want to convey or what other’s really want.

One thing I know for sure(Oprah’s phrase) is that many blogs no matter how professional, will go away. Before the real estate phase I watched it happened in the political realm.

The energy, tenacity and persistence it takes to keep blogging is enormous. And unless you hire a ghost writer or you really love writing and sharing your knowledge, it’s not likely you’ll make it.

But let me say this: I keep coming back to your blog because I find new technologies, you encourage other’s to share their views, you respond to people timely and your blog is entertaining. So I’m waiting for you to nail down(no pun intended) this blog thing and write a book.

Thanks for being there,
Sandra
