The Trouble With Blogs Is…
Posted by Kevin Hazard, June 19th, 2006
The trouble with blogs (especially fantastic ones like Site5’s) is that the blog poster has to be able to post entertaining, informative content (sadly, I actually just wrote “informative information” but deleted it… my, how the mighty have fallen…) and post it often. If those two conditions aren’t met, a blog will be about as successful as me trying to identify the name and/or artist/photographer of the painting I bought in a local prints store going-out-of-business sale.
Note: If anyone has any idea what the name of this print or who took the picture/painted the original, please let me know ’cause it has bugged me for the past two months.
Back to the topic at hand… I don’t read too many blogs, primarily because I don’t have time (or convince myself that I don’t because I know that if I dove into the blogosphere, I’d probably drown and never be productive again), but another fairly significant reason is that it is difficult to find blogs that are both fun to read and worth reading. Unfortunately for the reader, blogs are great for Search Engine Optimization and are probably the easiest “websites” to put together, so there are thousands of buzz-word-packed, rambling blogs out there.
In honor of Alanis Morissette’s 1995 smash hit, I’ll leave this post relatively uninteresting and content-free. Feel free to post a comment with your favorite blogs (unless they are so interesting that people will never read Site5’s Weblog again). If you know about the art print and let me know about it, you will deserve a big “Virtual High-Five.”
