Blog Expirations on Blogger

Problem: It's always disappointing when someone takes a primo blog name on Blogger and then doesn't do anything with it. Here are some random examples of great keywords for which I found existing blogs, which turned out to be quite lame and abandoned (as you can see for yourself). I included a short excerpt from each blog to give you a general idea.

MoreCowbell - (last post October 2002) "Apparently I missed the memo, but Rosie O'Donnell is back in the news.
LOL - the only post (from April 2001) is "this is the flufy puiff blog.... it has everything from Harry Potter to Limp Bizkit"
Sublime - (last post July 2001) "i'm bored and grumpy. i just cleaned my room, yuck. dried flowers rot. dum dee dum"
Preschool - only post from 10/13/04 is "my son goes to pre-school at 8:00"
PhiladelphiaEagles - There are a total of 5 posts, from November 2003
RantsAndRaves - A single post in 2000, completely worthless and with no redeeming value

Obviously most of these people had 5 minutes of interest a few years ago, and have no intention of ever posting to that blog again. Yet they are squatting on a prime blog name.

Solution: Blogger should have a rule where someone can apply to wait list a blog name, in which case Blogger sends an e-mail to the "owner" of that blog indicating that if they don't make a single post for a 2 year period, the name will be transferred to a new owner.
