Personal blogs were pretty popular for a long time.
Can't say if it was facebook that killed them, or if people just ran out of steam?

Bird Lovers Only Rescue

With the simplicity of setting up a website and posting, blogs make an easy choice for people doing things like staring up new ideas, business ventures or charitable endeavors.

This blog ran for a good 4 years, trying to help rescue birds.
Maybe they'll start up again some day.

Project 'Cube 2007

When you've got a cool project to do and you want to announce it to the world... why not start a blog?

This person made a huge subwoofer designed just like a Rubik's cube. Pretty awesome DIY project if you ask me!

THE BOOK DESIGN REVIEW

When it's time for the curtain call, some people have enough respect to bow out gracefully.
