I was pruning my RSS feeds last week and noticed the condolences posted in the comments of Tateru's last stats post when I realized the feed hadn't updated for SL-posts.

I guess (from inference of information gleaned elsewhere) AOL's blogging network is getting hit pretty hard across the board with cuts unless you're on a blog that you can easily imagine getting money (WoWInsider, for instance, who's posters seem to consist 75% of morons, but I digress...) you're probably not gonna last long.

moo Money could probably give a decent explanation if someone wanted to ask her.

Corporate blogging never made sense to me. You're better off, if you're a blogger, finding a good group of similarly focused writers and writing your little brains out and keep your advertising/revenue in-house. You're seeing this happen here and there, but not like you should. A lot like SL giant corporate interests eclipsed the amateur market in a field designed for amateurs and it's taken years to cool off.
