SQOTD 1/24/12 blog hops

Do you like Blog Hops? Do you do them? I like them once in awhile. I prefer the shorter hops. I love the inspiration I can get from them..:)

ummm... to be 100% honest.... I think I am a little over it at this point. When it gets over saturated and there are blog hops going all the time, it is just too much for me. I barely have to time to read the blogs i follow. so i would rather take the time and read through my blog reader than to hop. But that is just me for right now. LOL Sometimes I get in the mood of wanting to hope and find new blogs to follow! :)

I like doing them every once in a while. I much prefer shorter ones with out a lot of requirements.

i like doing them occasionally, just don't have the time to do them all the time

They're okay...I used to like them fine, but do not tend to do them much anymore. I like the shorter ones too.

Pretty much the same here. They are ok as long as they are short.

It all depends I think.
I have found that I enjoy ones on at board like here - with maybe a card hop, or trying something new - and maybe participation.
Mfgers ones get boring - and esp when they are every weekend.
That is just taking away from my scrap time.
There is one coming up on one board I drop in on - and its gonna be like 50 blogs... if it is for a long time period, maybe, otherwise - thats too much.

I think the main reason people host blog hops is to increase followers by mandating you leave a comment to be eligible for the prize. ch Manufacturers' seen to think the number of followers is important... But it's not really an indicator of the people who actually READ your blog... So, while I think the occasional short hop is okay, it depends upon the why really... Nine times out of ten, I'm not interested in the prize so why bother? Y'know?

I barely have time to shower these days so blog hops are hard for me. Like pnutsmom said, I usually don't feel like the prize is worth the 2 hours it would take me to get through the hop. We have a birthday coming up for Paper Secrets & I have my wheels rolling to come up with some new & fun to replace our usual blog hop.
