Is personal blogging passe?

Sure, there are lots of corporate or business blogs – more every day.

I’m asking about the personal blogs—the vanity type—I’ll write when I feel like it – blogs that were so common a few years ago.

I’m not seeing them, either by stumbling on them, or by seeing referrals to them from other blogs or publications.

Has personal blogging jumped the shark? Or did all the personal bloggers figure out they needed to have income?
