thisblogismyblog :: So my memory doesn't have to serve me correctly.

I hate how you need to sign up for a blog post a comment on a blogger blog. Shit...I'm talking like a fucking smurf.

Anyway I commented at Gorilla vs. Bear today, because I was annoyed with the anonymous comments there. But that's besides the point.

The purpose of this post is so I remember the location of the free blogger blog that I had no choice but to sign up for. I actually figured out my password and now I know the address in case I want to do something with that blog.

If you expect nothing, you won't be disappointed. This is for me and my personal grey matter.

The scary thing is that the post there has 2 comments. I'm not sure I've had that many here that weren't by me.

Granted, the first is clearly spam. And the second one found my blog inquisitive. No one to my knowledge found thisblogismyblog inquisitive. Yet alliwantedwastoleaveacomment gets the kudos.

Perhaps abandoned blogs will be the wave of the future. Perhaps if there's some kind of huge drought some teens will ride their skateboards inside the abandoned blogs and create some sort of cultural phenomenon.

What? Don't look at me like that. It could happen.

I think there is real potential for this idea of a mass blogosphere exodus leaving virtual carnage and ghastly stretch marks on the internet. Perhaps one day achaeologists will be digging through the ghost blogs to piece together blog history.

In order to post on this site, I needed a blogharbor account because blogharbor doesn't allow anonymous comments. In the spirit of your post, I created ijustwantedtoleaveacomment.blogharbor.com ... CHECK IT OUT!

I think the blog hosting services need a feature that will allow for moss and tumbleweeds and general decay on the abandoned blogs. We would get an idea exactly how long the ghost blog has been kind of "ghosty". And if that wasn't enough we could always do some kind of Carbon-14 testing.

Actually I have a better idea. Folks could take advantage of the comment ability on these sleeping blogs, give them a life of their own with their own content. There's more than one way to grow your own personal online empire.

Would it really be spam if the content is worthy? And if the blog owner is not staking his claim. Essentially, it's blogsquatting.

Let's just make a deal not to do it to each other's semi-abandoned blogs.

I actually thought you did not need to sign up for a blog to comment at BlogHarbor sites. I thought you could post if you just signed up for a reader account. This is also new to me.

Thanks for your comment by the way.
