Blog those blogging bloggers!

Now that I've moved from my own blog on my own webserver (that died with said webserver) to livejournal.com (that ended after their server outage the other day when they said they fixed it but it may recurr) and finally to blogger/blogspot here, I figured it was time to talk about blogs. Blogs can be alot of different things depending on the author. Some people seem to think that they like the idea of a diary that anyone can read (I remember my sister's used to protect that shit like their lives depended on it!) like a friend of a friend's blog that turned into a fan script for the Young and the Retarded or some such shit (http://www.livejournal.com/users/troopa if you're interested ... look for the entry with a shitload of comments ... just pop the corn first.) Then there's people who mostly link to kewl shit they see in their travels (http://www.livejournal.com/users/autopsychotic/). Then there are people like me who just comment on society (geek society is still technically a society :) .) And, last but not least, there are blogs like http://www.kevinrose.com/ which is not only entertaining and informative, but you may end up like me adding the RSS feed to your favorite aggragator. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with any of these formats, well maybe a little wrong with the diary thing ... how would you guys like it if I posted descriptions of Gabe's shits ... mebbe with pics? And personally I'm not a big fan of the teenager blog written in K-Leet or Homie-speak, but they must have an audience (even if it is their middle school) so whatever. But blogging has so impacted our [web]society we've turned more than a couple heads in the process. I just found out today MSN has their own blog service (though you need to be logged into MS Passport to make/view a blog.) It's very quickly moving into the same category as webmail, that is to say that though there are plenty of pay-to-blog sites, unless you need the features, most will stick to the free blogs out there. Just my 2 cp of course.
