Collaborative blogs - where are they today?

In recent years the blogosphere has seen the emergence of many new collaborative blogs, each accepting contributions from a group of bloggers, usually, well established ones. These supposedly trend used to be more popular in the past years and was usually common among professional blogs (biology/medicine/others). The main motive for joining such a blog is the pressures of maintaining a popular individual blog for an extended period of time. These can become too great, leading the successful blogger to, naturally, tend towards a lower pressure collaborative effort. However, despite of this very natural reason, the fact is that collaborative blogs are just not as common as one would expect. Are bloggers less stressed these days than they used to be? not at all. One reason might be using multiple blogging tools or multiple platforms. Another reason might be the rising popularity of aggregating sites, that publish the contents of several bloggers and become a collaborative blogs per say. Whatever the reason may be, I hope to see more of such blogs in the future.
