Sort of out of the workforce with a stubbed toe right now. The current Useless site will only live as long as people keep giving us material, and it is relevant. Then maybe three more weeks...

There should be some sort of recycling system/home for wayward blogs where desirable blog names are reused the way that phone numbers are brought back into circulation after a certain amount of downtime. Of course, now I realize you should have your own domain name as you blog URL so you're not dependent on the platform, but I digress.

I believe it's about 50%. It'd probably be difficult to narrow it down to a smaller timeframe, as when can you really declare a blog "dead"? Sometimes people go on a hiatus for a week, or a month...so tracking how many die in a day would probably be impossible, in my estimation.

When people don't think or look at how many blogs are dead, they simply shut up and tend to there everyday business. How sad, but this is life!

One thing I dislike about blog death, is the fact some of them remain in the traffic sites like Blog Explosion or Blogazoo. The blog hasn't been updated for over a month and I keep having to look at that same post everytime it comes up in the surf queue. I wish they would automatically delete if not updated within a certain time frame. Also, community blogrolls, or the aggregators, keep listing dead blogs. I hate those things wasting space on the rolls. I try to delete dead blogs off my personal blogrolls after thirty days of "silence". Interesting question, I have wondered myself.

So many blogs can be found left abandoned. The good thing is that just as these blogs die their readers disappear and noone really worries too much about them. I imagine the number of abandoned blogs is higher than most of us would expect. Open any Blogger hosted blog and use the toolbar to click ‘Next Blog’. So many blogs can be found left abandoned.
