Don't be a statistic

When talking about food borne illnesses and outbreaks, one of my professors points at the 'cases' in a chart and always says "don't be that statistic". Similarly, this blog needs to be revived ( thanks to the update faerie ). I was reading a blog entry by Perseus|Websurveyor, an online surveying and consulting firm and they recetly collected data on 3,634 blogs. It was hard to belive, that based on this sample data they projected that 4.1 million blogs had been created (on Blog-City, BlogSpot, Diaryland, LiveJournal, Pitas, TypePad, Weblogger and Xanga). Unfortunately, more than half of them have been left to roll like tumbleweeds in blogosphere.
