Blogs suck

Post by TomB » Wed Dec 15, 2010 10:18 pm

Here's one for my old mate Animalmother who swore that blogs were the future of the media and the saviour of the modern world.

Few read or trust bloggers, survey finds

Blogs have great potential, but the good ones are diluted by the millions of cheap and nasty, one-eyed "death beast/howler monkey" type blogs, and party stooge sites, organised and effectively run by political organisations.

Blogs are for opinion, not news. There is enough editorialising in the papers.

Most bloggers seem to be infected with a peculiar meme.

Remember the name of Animal Mother's old blog? "The Evil Pundit of Doom."

Blogs are boring

Wonder if AM ever knew pundit is a mistranslation of the sanskrit word for scholar?
I don't remember him being particularly scholarly.
Last I saw of him online he was lurking @ D&R mutual appreciation society ... they banned me.
