Forsaken Sites Litter Internet
Despite the Internet's ability to deliver information quickly and frequently, the World Wide Web is littered with deadwood — sites abandoned and woefully out of date.

Like many others who enthusiastically start Web sites and Web journals known as blogs, Powell lost interest. The Internet's novelty wore off.

"It was 100 percent the first two or three months of my training for the marathon, then I started to get resentful at having to put these pictures up," said Powell, who lives in Stockton, Calif. "It got increasingly tedious to keep up. I just let that thing go to pot."

One study of 3,634 blogs found that two-thirds had not been updated for at least two months and a quarter not since Day One.
