Writing on the Web is Better Than Crapping on the Web
March 7, 2008 8:17 am UncategorizedI was reading Genius Types yesterday and Brian Lee was talking about how it wasn’t a traditional blog because he didn’t post enough. He went on to say how he didn’t like the whole one-post-a-day mentality.
I completely agree. I think the post-every-day drive of many bloggers leads to a lot of crap being posted on the web. I don’t think there’s anything worst than going to a blog and reading the latest post only to find out that the author was just flinging some words out to meet a goal.
Well, okay, maybe kid pizza is worse.
Now, over at Web Trends, I do try to write every day. But that’s because I’m trying to keep up with that news stuff. And news-oriented blogs should have the content to do the one-post-a-day thing because news tends to happen on a daily basis. (There was that one time in the early 90’s that a whole week went by without news. But then again, I also lost a complete year back then, so there were definitely some time-space anomalies happening that decade.)
But typing something up just to have typed something that day… I’m just not a fan.
Next thing you know, people will be pulling up Paint and drawing some stick figures as a substitute for substantial content. And where will that get us?

Sweetheart, despite everything I said to you, I loved your stick figures. But I’ll agree with everything you said here. You know what’s worse than filling the world with crap? Two grown married people using a blog to flirt with each other in public. Now that’s taking exhibitionism to a new level. We might as well be on Springer.

Taking exhibitionism to a new level? Don’t make me whip out that photo I took of my beautiful feet!
