Blogverts

I added a new Random Blog button (the clue is in the name) to my browser’s Links bar this morning and spent a while browsing blogs to see what caught my eye. Only a couple seemed worth watching to see how they go (GreenFairy.Com and The Peter Files) but in amongst all the snapshots of people’s lives and thoughts, there was a high proportion of advertising: Blogs set up by some business interest or other and posted to on a regular basis with generic advertising for their product.

Nothing more than spam in the blogosphere. Another potentially great medium brought low, like the Internet before it, by people looking to make the cheapest buck at the expense of everyone else’s time and bandwidth. Bah.
