Blogs Suck.

As I become increasingly more bored, I find myself browsing the internet much more; so much that my iBook has nearly become physically attached to my hip. As a result I've discovered the wonderful world of the "Blogosphere." I think I can honestly say that it's the most overrated thing on the internet. I've read claims that soon the mass media will be replaced by a growing, independent consortium of bloggers, and our daily headlines will be delivered via RSS aggregates instead of newspapers or tv. And I think this is all a bunch of bullshit. I currently have about a half-dozen blogs bookmarked--most of which are merely for humor, and are updated infrequently--but I find it nearly impossible to read through long commentary-style weblogs that are trying to revolutionize the internets. I don't know, maybe my attention span is too short to worry about a bunch of rambling self-proclaimed pundits. Either way, I'm a big hypocrite because I'm writing this into a weblog right now.
