    Default blogging, is it all that its made up to be?

    ok in a bout of idleness this past week I created my own blog. But even still how many people visit blogs? do you check them regularly? are they of help to you? I have seen some very good blogs, but then they are setup like a freebie site as in they realized hey free hosting! some are hardly a personal log of anything etc.

    yeh so what are your opinions?

    btw my blog is: differentalternative.blogspot.com

    I find some blogs to be of use, like the technical ones where someone explained their experiences of setting up linux or bsd box for specfic purposes.

    blogs can be a good source of 'independent' opinion about a particular topic.
    plus, from a knowledge standpoint, they can be useful ... on a daily basis i check out the blogs of certain experts in my industry .. never can tell what you'll pick up before it hits the mainstream news

    Wrong. There are MANY blogs written by ordinary people that are very, very popular. One such example of an EXTREMELY popular personal blog is www.dooce.com and that's just one, there are quite a few others. You'd be surprised how many people will sit and read excerpts from the lives of people they know nothing about.

    Ive been blogging for a while too, but so far Ive kept it private. Its just a personal diary I use to get my thoughts out (really helps when you need to clear your head). Maybe one of these days I may distribute the link.
