Both in the actual writing and searching out fresh content, consistently and often enough and long term. It is hard work. ... and I think people just get tired or get distracted. But there's nothing more depressing than a deserted blog of several months or even weeks. I post to my personal blog, (very niche and which I started 3 years ago) every week. I used to blog 3 times a week, but decided that was the quickest way to burn out. Like many I also work full time. So I let my readers know my blogging frequency was changing and they were cool. The interaction became stronger and more frequent if anything. They now carry on conversations on it without me needing to reply to every post as I used to. My only regret is that I don't have time to visit all the blogs of those who visit and comment on mine... another essential part of blogging. I am also quite active on Facebook, and I haven't found it detracted from blogging at all. I use it very differently to blogging. I am just about to try Twitter but for business stuff(time will tell if it's a good idea or not), and I am thinking of starting a new marketing related blog. But knowing the time commitment has made me delay because I know what it's going to involve. Twitter won't replace blogging... I look at it like my FB status updates. There are some who advocate farming out your blog posts, but since blogging is a form of personal expression this won't work for my personal blog and I'm not too sure if it will for my business related one either. But it solves the issue of content frequency. It would be a shame if blogs faded (personally don't think they are) because in many cases they are freedom from listening to the controlled media.

I've also commented on several that I will not subscribe to an endless amount of e-mail newsletters, so if many of the bloggers I follow opt to head in that direction, they will lose me. There's a fine line between my Inbox/BlackBerry and my feed reader. You can't be in both, unless you're super-compelling or giving away free money.
