6. Not for me
Besides, it doesn't pass my "Ben Stein test".

Imagine a word as said by Ben Stein. If it sounds really dumb, it is.

4. Blogging: It's like journalism, only with zero accountability.
Which makes it actually worse than journalism.

5. Some cover obscure topics that no one else covers
those are interesting.

The ones that cover what everyone else covers (politics, celebrities, gossip, etc) are usually kinda useless. I can't stand the ones where they do nothing but post mainstream news stories. Bo-ring ...

9. Mostly, they're like stumbling across someone's shitty diary...
You read it, expecting to find some hideously kinky or horribly satanic deed poured out onto the pages, and usually, you hear lots and lots about how Carol at work is a conniving bitch. :eyes:

11. that all depends on the purpose for the blog
I've only read a few. Some were news, some were newsworthy and some were personal diaries, nothing more.

14. this is the most entertaining blog in the world
'Random Acts of Reality' http://randomreality.blogware.com/ by a London EMT who works out Newham. It is the coolest. I recommend it highly. Very addicitive.
