Hey Andy, sorry to see you close up the blog. I definitely enjoyed your run in the online journalism blogosphere.

Damn! You were in my top three favorite bloggers to argue with. Who will be there to fight with now? Really though, I’m going to miss your blog a lot. One of my favorites.

As you can tell from my late comment — I’m slowing down on my blogging too. I usually go more than a week without taking a peek at my feed reader nowadays.

Blogging is very hard work.

Oh, Andy, I will miss you very much! But I understand everything you’ve said here, because the same things are happening with me. There was a brief time of the online journalism blogs, when we were all posting tons and reading one another and learning everything at a rapid pace. But now we’re busy with so many other things — and what’s more, commenting has fallen way off. So the urge to post is fading away.

I will keep following you on Twitter and hope to meet you face-to-face one of these days.

Andy:

Oh, no.

Actually, I really understand what’s behind your decision. I’ve been wrestling with the same distress about circular conversations, the regression of the discussion, the anger from the journalists who haven’t been paying attention and suddenly find they are threatened.

Godspeed. Come back some time, though.

Please, reconsider.
Your blog is a great resource for student journalists.
I understand the burn factor. Maybe only take a blog-sabbatical instead?
You deserve a rest.

When you come back – we’ll be here.

@alexandre. I have noticed the same thing in my reader, in the online news/multimedia/video sector. Why is that, it is a very marked shift
