Perseus Development conducted a random survey and determined that 66% of blogs have not been updated in two months. This represents 2.72 million blogs that are essentially abandoned. Of these, 1.09 million were one-day wonders and never updated. At this rate, a new blog is abandoned every 2 minutes, 24 seconds.
