I think the lack of big numbers is largely due to the fact that there aren't a lot of blog "collectives" out there anymore where a bunch of bloggers share thoughts, conversations and such which engendered visiting everybody else's blog. I think you mentioned EntreCard the other day which is long gone and the original Humor Bloggers Dot Com was a great place for humour bloggers to get together.<br /><br /><br />Of course, I've pretty much given up on self-promotion too and it's gotten so that I pretty much write for myself and a small group of blogger friends. We'll see what 2014 brings.<br /><br /><br />I like the idea of movies from photos.

They have dropped off hugely. That could be something to do with the fact that I don't post often any more. Long gone are the days when I posted two or three times a week. I do miss those days though.<br /><br />I will never be a huge Facebook user. I am a cat lover, but even I get bored with all these cat pictures. I appreciate a really cute photo, but most are just snapshots of cats, doing what cats do - sleeping!<br /><br />Lately, I have found something else that is filling my time. Making movies of all my thousands of photos. Once that's finished, who knows?babs (beetle)http://beetle-blog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511081823602867774.post-10262750258733109962014-01-17T08:20:11.177-05:002014-01-17T08:20:11.177-05:00Cheryl, your comment comes closest to how I feel. ...Cheryl, your comment comes closest to how I feel.

Such a shame that people would rather see snippets of nonsense on FB rather than read interesting stories or ideas from bloggers. FB enforces the idea if it takes more than 30 seconds to read it's too much work. <br /><br />I still read more than 100 blogs each week although I tend to leave less comments because of the time investment. I am somewhat torn between the time involvement vs, the enjoyment. I would personally miss your blog so I hope you don't give it up. On the other hand, I believe that I will in the near future bring mine to an end as I, too, feel like I need to diversify my interests a bit.Cheryl P.http://artofbeingconflicted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511081823602867774.post-6010557625052727612014-01-16T19:05:12.096-05:002014-01-16T19:05:12.096-05:00I'm a sicko.

I know lots of people who've pulled back on posting anything remotely controversial because they know they're going to get nailed. I've been in that hot seat and I won't do it again.<br /><br /><br />The big question I have for you is whether or not you're going to join the 28 days of insanity over at Nicky's?

Both of you sound like you've come full circle with social media. I never had a group that I blogged with so didn't have the benefits of like-minded folks to hang with. Whenever I think about posting something, I just stare at the blank screen. I have nothing to say that I want out there for anyone to read.<br /><br /><br />Facebook wore thin about a year ago & I installed software to limit what I see. I also tossed people into groups so they don't show up in my feed. I tweak that stuff on a weekly basis to hide more and more stuff. So much is offensive for a variety of reasons. Just prior to finally publishing the 3 Seasons page to pimp my photography. I'd made a decision to leave FB behind. Twitter is a waste of my time. LinkedIn is one place I check in with to help with my job search. Mostly, it's all just garbage.
