The Popularity of Blogs

Well heck. Seems like just about everyone has a blog these days. Famous people, me, other not famous people. Someone just CAME UP with it one day (like Al Gore inventing the Internet) – and suddenly everyone’s gotta have it.

Famous People have them.

Star Trek nerds have them (and strangely enough it looks like ours…).

My friend Sean even has one.

Some are free, some are not. Some even have ads and can make you money if people actually show up and read your thoughts.

Anyway, I’m just amazed at all the blogging going on. Seems like a cool business idea, except that you can get one for free. Free. That’s a word you just don’t hear anymore. What’s the catch? I don’t think there is one. Millions of people talking about what interets them (and some other people). AND it’s free. Weird.

So there it is. Blogging is fast, free and some people even think it’s fun. Hey – whatever floats your boat. I blog. Sure, I admit it – who doesn’t anymore? It draws out the poet-philosopher inside me that so often is tied up by the coder inside me. I’m appreciative of a forum where I can just talk about … well obviously whatever if I’m blogging about blogging.
