| As my first post stated, I don't have a problem with all blogs, it's
the mindless verbal diarrhea that pervades alot of blogs that is not
for me, that's why I don't engage in it. Or the "let me put up
alot of personal information on the web so people can stalk me" kinds
of blog. And I don't mind using one to complain about them, at
least I'm self-aware. Maybe using a blog to complain about one
tendency of many bloggers is somewhat hypocritical, maybe it isn't.
Is the medium itself flawed, or is it just how one uses
it? *moral high-ground* I'm just a crusader for social change,
fighting within the system...

| Blogging is the cancer of democracy.
Not blogging in the elevated style of people who actually have
something to say, people who use a blog as an internet newspaper column
of sorts. You know the type I mean. The "this is an
exhaustive description of what I do on an average, mundane day."
The Truman Show type of blog. The kind that presumes anonymous
strangers care about the minutiae of your life. Yes, that
describes at least 90% of blogs.
Andy Warhol predicted that we well all be famous for 15 minutes.
Aren't you glad you spent it on telling the world that you got a new
haircut? Seriously, the world wide web doesn't care what you had
for lunch. Face it, your friends don't even care what you had for
lunch. Step away from the computer and go do something that will
stretch your mind. Read a book for pity's sake!
