Are Blogs doing to the web what spam did to newsgroups?
Okay, I've been thinking about the topic of my first blog entry for some time now. And along with that, I've been thinking about whether I should start a blog at all or not.
So I looked around. Some of my friends are active bloggers, and they even manage to post interesting and relevant entries. However, as soon as I start reading randomly selected blogs of people I don't know, the quality drops to levels way below my margin of interest.
The image, taken from the hilarious www.antibloggies.com site, stresses my point. My MOBLOG (click the 'Top' category on the left to see it) is already full of stuff that nobody is interested in. But maybe that's the way it has to be. Like the e-mail and newsgroups systems are swamped by spam, the web is going to be swamped by irrelevant moblogs showing irrelevant episodes of the irrelevant lives of irrelevant people. On a rather irrelevant planet, that is. So everything's perfectly fine ...
