A little piece of personal internet history. I found an old blog post from a friend in Dec 2009 about how bloggers are moving to Twitter.

> It seems that change is in the air at the moment, as a huge number of people are reassessing their relationships with their blogs this winter. [...] In some respects, a lively blog might be [...] a five year mission, at most. However, I also suspect that it is Twitter which is causing a lot of the reconsideration right now"

I do think 2010 was the last year I kept anything close to an active blog. Twitter absolutely ate that energy up for me instead.

@darius Ach, yeah, Twitter absolutely killed my blogging habit. Glad to have gotten it back in recent years, but it’s definitely different than it used to be.

@darius Twitter definitely was a factor for me as well. 2010 was the last year of my Mom's life which impacted me, and after that it was Instagram that took over for me (backfilled into my blog). But my own blogging is making a comeback. artlung.com/visualization/
