General Motors Smallblock Engine blog shuts down today after only a year. The blogger, Dave Hill is retiring, so the retirement of the blog makes sense. Especially as blogging is about a human voice, and Dave represented that voice for the blog.
I hope this means that GM can put more resources into its Fastlane blog, readers may remember my earlier critique of that GM Blog.
