Bloggers are pretentious nitwits
April 23, 2005
The new Business Week cover story, Blogs Will Change Your Business, is written in what the authors call "the style of a blog." Two examples:
Tuesday 6:35 a.m. How big are blogs? Try Johannes Gutenberg out for size. His printing press, unveiled in 1440, sparked a publishing boom and an information revolution.
Thursday 8:56 a.m. It's the latest wrinkle on Descartes. I blog therefore I....consult.
Is that really the style of a blog? I'm so ashamed.
Comments
Awww. That's mean. I think they're kind of cute getting Blogspotting.net rolling.
