One of my favorite time-wasters is to think of a word or phrase, tack on ".blogspot.com" and see what's there. I rarely find active blogs this way.

Just now I tried http://chainsaw.blogspot.com/ and found a quintessential blogger blog with a single decade-old entry. I'd love to read a followup post but I know it will never happen.

Very occasionally I'll run into something like http://grasses.blogspot.com/ - abandoned, and perfect that way.

There can be a kind of weird beauty in those forgotten blogs.

I wonder if GOOG will allow users to petition for these namespaces. Unless they do, it's doubtful that I'd ever use Blogger.
