What type of Blogger are You?

People’s blogs are out of control.

First of all, everyone has one- even me!

Second of all I feel totally invasive when I stumble upon someone’s blog and see their pictures and stuff and I am like—uhhhh, I don’t even know this person and I just saw their boobs/ friends boobs, someone peeing- whatever.

It’s like reality TV but on the computer and these people (myself included) are looking for a way to express themselves, however I have a gripe (as usual) with a certain type of blogging.

Why, oh why must we see every drunk, stupid thing you and your friends did this weekend? Isn’t that what myspace is for?

I hatez when peeplz type like diz, instead of riting proprr engli$hhh. If you’re going to write learn the language, and none of this juvenile ghetto code writing. Spare us please.

This next one is a little tricky. If you are a person in the public eye, go ahead and put up a real picture of yourself. If you are portraying a certain kind of character, that represents a part of yourself, and you put up a different kind of picture, not a problem. If you are a 22-year-old hipster living in Brooklyn- we don’t care what you look like! Again- myspace is the forum for that.

And finally, and this is just one woman’s opinion- post something that has substance. That sends some sort of message, perhaps something that will make people think. And if the goal is entertainment, try and dazzle your audience with some talent and not just the same old potty humor type, drunken escapades we can see on MTV.

Happy blogging!!!!

Amen SISTA!,I agree, blogs should make them think, make them laugh, make them cry, but please dont flood pics of tatas and schlongs, there are pornsites for that.
And yes, With all the pollution on the internet, writing blogs should be the last hope of having an open forum to state opinions with substance.

The internet, overall, can be a public exercise in brainfarting. I think anyone with at least a semi-decent blog has written about this and wonders if there can ever be a code of decorum for blogging and the like.

I love being able to extend some of my freelance work into this arena, but those of us who craft and cultivate these blogs can get lost in the shuffle. Keep plugging, I guess.

I am so with you on that!!!! Seriously, in the blog world, if you don't have something interesting to say please stick with myspace. And I personally think myspace is a horrible waste of time. But if you are a silly person with nothing but silliness to exhibit then yes at least there is myspace.

Now, that says a lot about current trends among young people and the direction we are headed, now doesn't it?

Lord help the blogosphere.
