# I tell you what
I really can't be arsed with all this blog nonsense.

What is it about? And why?

Does anybody actually ever read them?

# No - nobody cares
and you can ignore most of the blog fluff that goes around - it's just a publishing format, after all.

It's what people do with them that counts.

# that has cleared things up a little
to be honest, I lied - I've looked over some blogs, yours included, and there are sometimes some gems to be found. I think that my problem is that I'm too used to the fast pace and relative anonymity of that which is b3ta.

Or something. It has pickshers. And stuff.

# the message board at b3ta
acts like a community blog of sorts - but it's not something I say often, as people often mistake B3ta for a blog when it's much more than that.

# about 5 of them are read and have influence
the other half million exist only for the vanity of the writers.

# blogs
do not have to be widely read to have influence.

# oh yeah - I forgot
the poor saps all work for google now. I feel sorry for them. they spend all day ripping links off other blogs just for 5 readers and to feed the google page rank system. ha ha. the only influence is making google stronger.
