Blogs are the main exception I make in my aversion to complex machinery.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not sure blogs are necessarily the best place to get a pulse on anything. People want to blog for a variety of reasons, and that may or may not be representative.
I think blogging is a muscle that most people wear out.
I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
I like the immediacy of blogs and the democratizing effects of letting millions of voices bloom on the Web.
While I love the medium, I've always been skeptical about the value of blogs as businesses.
If producing a regular column is living out loud, then keeping a daily blog is living at the top of your lungs. For a couple of months there, I was shrieking like a banshee.
Blog culture has a hard time digesting narratives, but it has an easy time digesting 'big ideas' pieces.
A daily blog would just about finish me off completely.
Blogs are for anoraks who couldn't get published any other way.
I loathe blogs when I look at them. Blogs look, to me, illiterate. They look hasty, like someone babbling.
