blogs=pet rocks? hahah i love it

The title is in reference to this article.

To a technology laggard like myself, it's almost hard to believe something like this was written over two years ago. I have to believe, however, that I am still ahead of a decent amount of the general population in terms of technology use and maybe average at best in comparison to my immediate peer group. Regardless, I've come to accept that blogs really seem to be the way of the future.

I never liked the word blog. To me it sounds like some kind of growth you'd find on a rotting tree or a skin disease that strikes someone who doesn't get enough exercise. After developing all your links and tags and readers you couldn't have at least named it something cool? Now I have to read and hear about BLOGGGGGGGGS all the time.
Anyways, it's kind of ironic blog brings some kind of sedentary, lazy connotation to mind because blogs really are the exact opposite. Blogs are alive. They're here, they're there....they are everywhere. All at once.

Blogs are the new undeniable force in society and business. You get news about celebrities, voice complaints, and even launch careers. Who would have imagined a goofy looking wise ass who draws on pictures of celebrities or Mr. Free Meals and a Playground for an Office isn't Good Enough for Me would become stars in the blog era? Who knew we would be in a blog era?

I guess it all makes sense. After reading through these blogs, you realize anyone can do it. Although, from my point of view, I find it kind of difficult to match the stupidity or mundanity of most of them. So, anyways, the point is, blogs lead to more blogs. When the secret is out on how popular they are, more become interested in the profit side of the equation. At this point, anyone who says companies need to be cognizant of blogs and how they are perceived in the blog community is beating a dead horse.

In closing, I understand how important these ill-titled creations have become. After all, I'm being forced to write and read them to get a degree and even enter the business world. I've come to realize that, no matter what I decide to call them, this is only the beginning of my experience with, well, you know what.
