The hype around blogging seems to come from the fact that blogs make publishing accessable and acheivable to non-techies. You can set up a blog in about 5 minutes and be blogging in about 1/2 an hour and you dont need to know a damn thing about a) websites b) publishing c) business - This is not a bad thing, in fact, i think it's fantastic! The funny thing is that a blog really isnt anything that special, think about it: What makes a blog any different from any other website ...the barrier to entry right? With a blog anyone can publish.
(An old post, as far as blogs go, but I've said before that I'm not blogging to break news. I just thought this post really summarized what blogging is really all about: simplified publishing for non-technical people. But what really gets me about this post is how dead-on it is about how blogging today, and the hype surrounding it, is covering exactly the same business terrain as the plain old World Wide Web did, about 10 years ago. It's the same gold-rush mentality. )

(Get ready for the flood of books on podcasting. Great. But until the actual process of recording and publishing a podcast becomes as easy as, say, blogging, then it's just more dead trees and fury, amounting to nothing. Plus, the word "podcasting," like the word "blogging," is confusing. These words don't have mass appeal. Are you kidding me? (b/w Scripting News))

The weblog for new dads. Daddy Types was conceived [sic] as a personal, partial solution to the ridiculous absence of truly dad-friendly perspectives in the baby-making and -raising world. I don't think I'm alone in noticing this gap, and I don't want to be alone in filling it.
(Now I've seen it all: the father of all blogs. )

Boeing President and CEO Harry Stonecipher has been forced to resign because of an improper relationship with a female executive at the aircraft manufacturer.
(This just proves, again, that most men are morons. The rule is simple: don't fool around at work! No matter who you are. It will only end badly. )
