And so far from what I']ve seen I completely agree with you. I guess I'll try to think of stuff that is at least a little interesting to put up there, and try to promote my blog just like you said :) Thanks for the info! I promise to never post about leftovers or cleaning. Hah, awesome. And so far from what I’]ve seen I completely agree with you.

Does he have some sort of advanced degree in blogging? He's obviously an expert when it comes to the web. What a pompous jerk. BTW... I think we've noticed moog breaking the rule about random images inserted to break up article text. Such a terrible abuse of your blogging power over your readers!! For shame!!

I HATE those cloud tags that he talked about. I kind of laughed at #11...it said don't blog about blogging. I agree with him but that's eaxctly what he's doing :-) I agree with just about everything he said. I HATE those cloud tags that he talked about.

Communication is great but the term "diarrhea of the mouth" comes to the mind. Oh, I agree…how arrogant to people have to be to think that anyone gives a damn about what you’re eating.

It's one thing to go out and say "I'm know the most about cows," and flaunt that around the blogosphere. But it's another thing saying, "look at me, I'm eating!" The sharing of trivial moments almost seems like it is a worse case of egotism.

And I don't mean egotistical in a bad way. We all have an ego to some extent and people like to talk about themselves, they like letting people know what books they read and what music they listen to and that is why people make it easy to be nosy. It is all about getting attention. This is my thought on all this stuff: people are egotistical and twitter, pownce, and myspace provide an outlet for that arrogance.

Myspace is very annoying and ugly but I think it is here to stay, if only because musicians, actors, writers, etc are able to use it as a free and easy communication tool. It might lose its steam a little but sorry, I don't think it is going any where. I’ve scanned this article but one thing that I disagree with is that myspace is losing power.

When you tell everyone everything all the time there's nothing left to do/say when you get together in person. And I don't use IM away messages to convey where and what I'm doing at the time. My away message is simple, its says "I'm away" - no reason or location of what I'm doing. No one needs to know why I'm away, just the fact that I am away and can't reply right now is all they need. I have no real interest in IMing someone knowing they are away - if I can see that they're away, why would I send them a message? That's like knocking on someone's door when you know they're away on vacation. I can understand being nosy, everyone is curious - the part that perplexes me is why you would want to share minor details of that aren't even interesting enough to be worth being nosy over.
