i don't think it's that simple. i'm going to invoke sturgeon's law: 90% of
everything is crap.

blogs are a big part of the web 2.0 thing. there was an interesting thread
on nettime, recently, although it was mostly a series of gestures toward
answers, about blogs, the personal/political, etc. the initial post traded
mainly on the term "banal". but isn't the thign about banality precisely
that it's everywhere? lol.

the idiocrafication of the cosmos. entropy, d00d.
