Bloggin' ain't easy

I was worried that when I recommended a pair of funny video blogs about a year ago that I would lose all my regular readers because the sites I was recommending were funnier and took better advantage of the medium.

As it turns out, I'm the last man standing. Amanda Congdon left Rocketboom in a contract dispute a few weeks after I made my post, and Ze Frank wrapped up The Show over the weekend.

I suppose there is some pride in outlasting both of them, but it's tempered by the fact that Congdon now works for ABC News, and Ze is leaving because he got famous, got an agent, and is moving to Hollywood.

I prefer to think they couldn't hack it at being funny once a day and hung up their spikes. Sure, they may have been funnier, but now they're gone. I'll be less funnier, but for longer, thus arriving eventually at a higher total level of lifetime humor displacement.

Or something.
