to hate blogs?

[EBDTeacher]

Google for anything these days and you just get pages of egotistical anecdotal stream of consciousness.

Or am I just getting old and out of touch? Harrumph.

I love some blogs. My very lovely friend has one and it's a great way to keep up with her and also I love her writing style.

Also text from dog is the funiest thing on the net.

depends what it's about!! i like the make up blogs, pages and pages about eyeshadows

Is this thread not an egotistical anecdotal stream of consciousness?

Or, really, all of MN? Or the internet?

yanbu - you're looking for reliable facts and get irrelevant, unreliable rantings of strangers

Yeah, that's how I feel about them maddening.

Maybe I am missing something. Or being egotistical. However, I come to MN expecting opinion. If I google, I don't know, 'angina' I can't really be arsed to wade through 10 pages about how somenbody has been empowered by living with a heart condition. [grumpyoldwoman]

Then Google Angina Wiki or Angina Medical.

See, there's you're problem. Googling without a license.

Your problem. Too much .

Now you're rubbing salt in it Tee because I haven't got any .

Oh, I see you were correcting yourself. I thought you were telling me I'd had too much and was therefore incapable of an accurate google and genuinely wondered for a second if you knew me in RL.

Oh, well, there's your total problem right there, then!

I simply can't understand the mindset of pople writing about their mundane little lives. Why?
On the same token, I can't comprehend the need to read such tedious drivel. It screams - get a life, no?!
Same goes for Twitter and FB.
What ever happened to privacy?

Whatever that is. Dodgy keyboard.

Seriously, how is it any different than coming on MN to "whine" about our "mundane" problems?

The entire Internet is masterbatory,

I love crafty blogs that include tutorials for the things they have made so I can make them myself.

I don't like blogs just about people's daily lives but there are some great sewing blogs out there.

YANBU, they are imo completely egotistical.

There's a big difference between interacting on an internet forum and writing a load of daily guff, because you think you're so important that other people are going to 'like' your blog and read it keenly.

Blogging has been a way for many aspiring writers to get a break into reaching their dreams.

I love creative writing and poetry blogs.

YABU. Refine your search.

I think it depends. I have a news blog and a blog relating to my business. I see those types of blogs differently to those that say "I woke up this morning, got the kids ready for school, got dressed, went to the parkk," .

But really, a blog about your life isn't that much different to a diary, is it? The only difference is that it's published on a public platform. I have no inclination to read it and I have no idea why anyone would want to write quite so openly on the internet, but each to their own, no?

I do read some business blogs, people commenting about industry news which is ok, but I don't get the 'today we made cupcakes' personal blogs.

although I am insanely addicted to Teenage girls posting endless pictures of nonsense on Tumblr

Well, I can't speak for all egotistical bloggers, but I do a personal blog so my far flung family, and I'm talking world wide, can find out, all in one place, what my family and I are up to.

I don't expect or ask anyone else to read it.

So, hey, don't!

No one is forcing you to.

I don't happen to like magazines about race cars. I do not, however, hate them or expect others to not read them just because I don't like them.

And you call me egotistical...

I have an irrational loathing for blogs too.

warren I couldn't help myself, I just had to have a read of your blog, as you so brazenly put a link there! :o

Parking wars is hilarious! I love it and think I would do the same! And your lovely post about your "rock god" was heart warming!
