Blogs aren't for everyone
A lot of people have a fond love of the Blog. I'm not really one of them.
Blogging means being a slave to posting things. What did I do today that was so cool? What did I see what was so hip? Who do I want to scream at?
Too much emotion, combine with shooting from the hip. Do you really CARE if I tell you my favorite artist is Stevie Nicks? What does it matter in the larger scheme of IP Communications or PR?
Many corporations have "blogs" but you already know they are not spontaneous shoot-from-the-hip this-is-what-I-really think street creds type info. It's edited propaganda pap, measured for content and sanitized of any real flavor, like going to Taco Bell and expecting to get something that resembles real Mexican cuisine. Let me tell you something, my buddy Jerry at TacoFiesta (www.tacofiesta.com) knows Mexican food and it's a crying shame I can't get his Aunt Liche's chili anymore.
*sigh*
Many news blogs are nothing more than glorified and RSS-ed websites, it being easier to quick-post a blog entry than to take another two seconds to set up and organize web pages.
Certainly, the technology is great to post information, but how much information do you really need? Do you need to post every day? Every single day? Every single day without fail? Oh man, do I ever feel a Sam Kinison moment coming on.
