Bloggy Blog, bloggety blog (blog blog blog)

I just came across this article on the BBC website about blogging. Might be interesting in time, but so far it seems mostly critical on the waste of time that is a blog. They fail to mention corporate blogs, however. Perhaps they aren't allowed to advertise so blatantly. I am curious as to what their stance would be, though.

On the contrary, the linked article isn't critical about blogs being a waste of time. It merely points out that others have noted that blogs are a waste of time and attempts to balance that viewpoint. Personally, I think there's value to be found in any form of communication, especially blogs and corporate blogs in particular.

I guess the real question asked by the article is this: If blogs are such a waste of time then why are so many people wasting so much time? Are the journalistic critics of blogs denying that one of the very reasons for drawing them into their profession - to communicate with others - is a fundamental desire of all human beings?

Although the article seems to be trying to work out whether blogs are good or bad, I had an overwhelming feeling it was discussing more of the bad than the good. More examples of people being negative than positive. Their hearts may be in the right place, but I shall wait for their coming reviews of blogs and see what final conclusions they come to!
