Blogebrity
So, does this mean I'm finally going to be in a non-tech magazine? Will I have to do something silly again, like rent my forehead instead of my chest? Are they going to make a Bloggywood Squares game show next? Can I be Center Square? Will having inserted an obscure Monty Python reference into the excerpt for this blog entry win me anything?
I turn on the television, I keep seeing “blogs” featured on midday political news roundtables. I listen to the radio, I hear the word “podcasts” mentioned as alternatives for archives. Seems that counter-culture is quickly becoming culture. That begs the question: what IS next? What more can we do with blogs, other than blog about blogging and blog about blogging about blogs? They used to be uber-cool and super-rare, but now everybody has one – and I believe its uniqueness has disappeared because of such ubiquity. That, and they seem to bring out the worst in everybody. Most blog comments are nothing but… and I quote…
“Check your facts before you post.” “Read before you write.” “Don't be so self-obsessed.” “That was stupid.” “The tone of your post was offensive to me.” “So this guy posts every time he's 'off' to somewhere new. Is he boasting about his travel?”
Well, better to see a negative blog comment than none at all, eh? Doesn't matter, I'm likely to receive negative comments for commenting on negative blog comments now. Here, wait a second… just copy and paste the following complaint into your comment, and you'll be well on yr way to a perfect followup:
Chris, I don't knwo what happened to you. You used to be cool now your all obsessed with making a living. I have to go to work every day and do you hear me ever complain about things? No because i don't complain about things ever – unless i'm complaining about you and what you say. I'm totally unsubscribing from your drivel. There's a lot more drivel out there for me to reaed.
Perfect. That way, I'm further dehumanized. Blog dammit.

I just don’t think that any of these plugins (or social networking buttons, for that matter) are worth the space or effort. comments Related Content:Move over, Blogebrity?Blog Comment SpammersBlog ClubMovable Type v1.4BlogebrityBlog PioneeringAkismet Accidents?Sugar HatersGooglefasting: Day 12Spam Research [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] (via Abhi’s shared items in Google Reader)

And of course you always delete any comment you think is negative towards your view.
you can dish it out but can't take it.

Yeah, Chris routinely deletes anything contrary to his view. With that ego, he can't handle much else. Let's see how many millseconds this stays up.

But your drivel is so much better than all the others — you're drivelisious! Or as Ponzi's Aunt would say, you're blogenesque …
There are two types of people in this world, those that have no life (people that read blogs) and those that have a life (people that have their own blogs to share their life with others).
