Nobody asked what you're listening to! Nobody cares! The songs you mention do not make you look any cooler! The songs you claim you're "listening to" often STINK!

That is all.

it tends to be more interesting than the actual blog content tho

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but the entire nature of blogs seems to useless information to begin with, no?

Alex nailed it.

I really didn't expect this thread to make it this far. Perhaps we should end it now?

Nobody asked what you're listening to

I think by visiting a blog, you're asking for whatever they want to tell you.

Visiting blogs: C/D ?

livejournals != blogs

Don't kid your/myself, Jess.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

a good blog has the potential to tell me something new.

a "good" livejournal still doesn't have that potential.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Depends on who is writing it, surely.

omg, like, ned i am sooooooo bored.

today me and bobby and andie went to the pizza parlor and played dig dug! omg!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

That tells me something new! Namely that Dig Dug can still be found in arcades!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

i said pizza parlor, fool!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

and it's "ironic" there.

Songs about blogs C/D?

Most livejournals are shit of course, but some people use them to write intelligently and just like the comment features/free web space. I've stopped caring for the most part, but it's good for keeping up with the whereabouts of my RL friends who have moved away.

I'm so cool.

Duff.. if only because i'm only interested in what someone's listening to if they are describing it.

― snd, Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

splitting this by format rather than content seems a bit backwards.

livejournal's 'music' feature is a built in thing: presumably someone, somewhere thought it was worthwhile

― tom west (thomp), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

is "no joy in mudville" a real song?

― tom west (thomp), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, and unfortunately Death Cab for Cutie are a real band as well.

― maypang (maypang), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 19:34 (twenty-two years ago)

NP: The ticking of the clock on the wall.

Like was said before, if you don't care why are you reading it? You're going out of your way to visit a site (in this case livejournal, where you know you're going to see this) and you're complaining about it.

As for complaining about blogs: c/d, I have to say I side with dud. We know what they are, we know what we're going to see. It's like complaining about MTV because they don't play music. Everybody knows it, and now only 14 year old girls watch it.

The great thing about blogs/lj is that it's cut out the concept of mass emailing. I hate getting an email sent to 20something people about how someone's life is going. If I want to know I can check their blog, if I don't, I don't.

Christ, now I'm ranting about ranting. File me under hypocrite.

a blog or an lj is as wanky as whoever's writing it wants to make it.

as is ILM, actually. or anything else. the biggest difference with the proliferation of LJ and likeminded services is that it puts the power into more hands---it's more equal, and the shit-to-quality ratio will likely remain the same, but there'll still be more of everything.

My 'blog' is boring, and sucks, and that's why most of it can only be read by people I know who are presumably bored enough to care. It is pretty much unhelpful and non-informative except to myself.

C'mon, everyone knows the music feature is cool because you get to show everyone your cool eclectic musical taste and how superior it is to theirs. DUHHH. Self-indulgent pretentiousness: classic.
