Part of the reason I post so little is that much of the stuff that I would want to communicate to my peers, I now put in my GTalk status message and let people read it there, since they're more likely to read that than this. It was easier in the days before popular link aggregation - I could just post a link to some crazy robot thing and add some useless thought and that would be enough to maintain the blogging flow. Now I assume that people have read those things elsewhere, and that's the end of that avenue of communication.
The other problem is that I spend a long time thinking and reading about the things I feel like posting, and when I'm done with that, the subject feels too obvious and trite, and so a post about it would be like saying "I am assuming that the people who read this don't know this obvious thing".
See, now I don't even feel like posting this. I mean, DUUH, WHY ELSE WOULDN'T I POST?

I feel the same way. And I somehow got talked into using twitter, so I now have 2 chat rooms, 2 status messages, 2 blogs, flickr, del.icio.us, and twitter available whenever I feel like say anything. It's a bit overwhelming. ;-)
