A Blog About Blogs

     In a classic episode of Seinfeld , Kramer writes a coffee table book about coffee tables. I am writing this blog about blogs.

     In Blogger there is a "Next Blog" feature in the top menu bar. It will connect you to a random blog. If you were so inclined you could browse dozens of blogs written by perfect strangers. I guess I expected to find mostly teenagers writing about the social aspects of living in Anytown USA but was surprised to find that the majority of blogs are written by people over the age of 30.

     Most of these were family oriented. People posted pictures of their kids or their latest vacation. I suppose this is a good way for people to stay current with their friends and relatives as long as they don't mind the whole world looking in on what they have been up to.

     I had hoped to find at least one thought provoking blog out of the twenty or so that I perused. Alas, this was not the case. What I found was that the majority of them only had a few entries and were outdated by more than a year. I guess in our ADD society most people didn't find blogging as much fun as they thought it would be and soon lost interest. Or maybe they just moved on to Twitter where you can write short sentences about what you had for breakfast.
