Summer Project

By derek ⋅ May 29, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

As part of my summer project to learn more about scripting languages (especially Python and AppleScript) and inspired by Jeremy’s post about weblog burnout rate, I’m thinking of taking Blogger’s list of blogs created from 1999 through Jan. 2001, stripping out the URLs and then checking the HTML headers in each to determine the date of its last update. Yeah, it’s an incomplete set and certainly not up-to-date, but I think it would make for interesting reading (the results, naturally, will be posted here). Any suggestions?

  2. Derek, I’m beginning to believe you really *are* a geek:) much to the benefit of others…good and interesting idea. I’m betting that many have dropped out as the phenomenon has grown in scope and individual blogs are less seen (statistically speaking and at the risk of assuming).
