I think part of it may be due to location; artists who live in areas with diverse, active art communities may be more likely to do their socializing, marketing, and networking offline. I've noticed that I neglect my blog and websites when I have enough of an "energy exchange" with the communities surrounding me. It becomes a matter of priorities: which is giving me the most return for my time investment, in terms of support, business, inspiration, etc.? Living in a rural area (an hour or two away from any major art centers) means that I'm almost forced to stay connected via the internet at times. Would I do it differently if I were in a large city? Possibly. But to end this with a personal preference: I'll always keep some kind of online portfolio up. It's just too easy to hand over that business card with my URL on it!</p> This is an interesting question!
