Blogs are a mixture of the human desire to share thoughts or opinions and the internet. For some reason, people seem to think that the whole world needs an opportunity to read what they have to say. The whole concept is mostly unnecessary. Blogs could be a useful tool and can be a place to share things like recipes or 'life hacks' which can be beneficial to anyone who reads. There are ways to make blogs useful! But, overall, they seem to be a waste of time.
Some examples of time not wasted:
Ikea Hackers shows cool ways to repurpose furniture! The commentary is simple, to the point, and somewhat amusing while the whole thing is sharing helpful information.
The Google Blog is a clever way for Google to show things that they're working on. It's helpful for marketing and an interesting glimpse of the future of technology.
An example of time lost forever:
Hullabaloo is suppose to be amusing? It's hard to say. The reader gets absolutely nothing from reading most of this except for random little bits of the author's opinions.
Maybe there is something else to this whole 'blogging' thing that I just can't understand and maybe at the end of all of this I will get it. As of right now, though, most blogs are just annoying. This one included.
