Why Blogs Suck.

I was playing around on the computer today and found something pretty funny. I typed in "blogs suck" on google and got a whole list of sites with that title. This one I found pretty amusing, even if it is an old post:

Now I don't think that blogs suck by any means, but I do think there is some truth into what he says about the people who post one sentence blogs that get tons of comments. I think my favorite part of the post is the comment at the bottom:

"it also gives people with no critical thinking skills the ability to
instantly become critics. (shudder)

as if critics who actually WENT to journalism school weren't
bad enough."

Don't you just love the way people percieve journalists??

Despite stephenesques' feelings, I love blogs. Regardless of whether it's political opinions or personal stories, people, including myself, enjoy reading about other people's lives for really no good reason other than the desire to be in everybody's business. This quality, good or not, is something that I have gotten in to a lot of trouble for in the past. So I guess blogs are perfect because you can be in anyone's business anytime and they actually want you there!

Oh, and I think pundit is my new favorite word.
