SO MANY BLOGS, SO LITTLE TIME

Our "information" newsletter at work had an article about this new fangled weblogging fad.

The disadavantages of using blogs for "information"?

So many weblogs, so little time.
- They can add to the large volume of “vapid” content on the Web, making it harder to find valuable material
- Many weblogs are intensely personal in tone and content, and as such may not appeal to some readers; this can lead to pitched battles between the author and those commenting.
- There is a lot of trivia out there along the lines of “what we did on our holidays”
- As with personal home pages, the fact that you can set up a blog does not mean that you must or should.

Of course, I am a Donut passes all these tests.
