Officials Say Blog Titles Running Low

It seems that the nation's 5th bloggiest 'nabe' is causing problems on a worldwide scale by using up a nonrenewable natural resource. No, it's not coal or oil -- it's blog names.

Representatives from blogger.com, hosts of over 3.5 million blogs (short for 'weblogs') say that they are running low on site names on their blogspot.com hosting server.

"Just last week, someone took three more names, bringing us down to a scant 43 names left," said Sally Dupree, spokesperson for the site. "If this keeps up, there won't be anything left."

She added, "Many of the blogs aren't even real blogs but just point to other blogs."

Dupree refused to comment on which names remained out of concerns that the final possible names would all be taken by one person. Some bloggers have as many as six blogs on the blogspot site.

I just grabbed three of the remainders.

Funnily enough, they all either included or rhymed with the word "nabe".

Hear that, folks? They're going quickly. I, too, have taken several more blog names -- I'm setting up a blog that is merely a list of headlines from this blog that specifically mention the headlines on other blogs that were taken from still other blogs.

I just grabbed another one. It was the last one that had "conservancy" in it.
