1. You left out...

opportunity for endless public self-wankage. :)

[DS1]

2. It was "Developing"

premature wankage reporting is irresponible ;-)

3. Depends on the blog.

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.

[Hugin]

12. Oh... And journalism has accountability?

Couldn't tell with all of the bloviation going on lately.

13. More than blogs.

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:

[In_The_Wind]

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.
