Blogs

As pervasive as it is, I truly hate the term Blog. It inspires insipid faces of trendhopping, teens posting thoughts which, in any other forum, would be considered excessive; Of note is the advents of things like Technorati and the superflous numbers of services coming around. Whats interesting to note is what people use it for. To some its an online journal, or a method of advertisements, to others its a way to transmit their travels. Its entertainment and as with all forms of entertainment there is quality and there is crap.
What scares the powers that be out there is that its unfiltered. One can gauge issues of the day, opinions or popularity simply by reading. Its a raw information source thats truly devoid of spin. The downside is large portions of it are filled with teen angst, bile, anger and pettiness. Then again, that doesn''t really differ it from the regular news, does it?
