Daily Kos? The top of the table of global blogging?

More like the Little Green Kossacks’ Boys’ Club’s vaguely-liberal-left-wing faction.

Finally! Some people who actually understand what I’ve been talking about!

There is also the old trick of making the ‘spoiler’ text the same colour as the background

Back in the Usenet days, all of the text was black (and monospaced) and all of the backgrounds were white, so rot13 was the only option

Blogging is pretty time consuming, and lots of people drift in and out of it (I’m on my second proper blog at the moment, but I had four or five distinct web sites, some quite blog-like, before blog was even a word). Getting a real job, or a life, might not leave enough time to devote to it for many people. I don’t think it’s surprising that people drift in and out of blogging, but I suspect that there will be a net increase for some time to come.

I personally haven’t updated my blog in over a week, mainly because nothing has tweaked my interest sufficiently at a time I had the luxury of devoting a few minutes to writing something. It’s not dead, just sleeping!

‘Furrfu’ is what got you confused, for it is reminiscent of pussycats both in and out of code.

I hope so…otherwise I looked at the word ‘tigtog’ and saw ‘Pavlov’s Cat’ and am getting some sort of dyslexia-related distorder.

Quite aside from my shameful abuses of admin privileges at Club Troppo.

Or even tigtog. Brain. On. Check.

whoever wrote that sunday times piece needs to assess their talents as a journalist.

I dunno. Being able to turn out 500-odd words before deadline is far more important than making sense, or having something original, new or factual to say.

It’s not like this columnist will get called into the boss’s office in 18 months and be told “Look, people are actually blogging, you’re out of touch and we’ll have to let you go”.

There is a ROT-13 cypherer/decypherer here.

Mwahahah. Collecting new friends on MySpace? It’s a great resource for people with something to put forward like artists and musicians, but a purely recreational MySpace space is – to my limited experience anyway – laughable. I’ve seen my younger relatives’ MySpaces with “friends” section full of creepy guys called Kevin or similar from Utah.

Oh why do we bother? fish. Barrel.

Furrfu.

Talking about classics, ’tis a while since I’ve seen the good old ROT-13.

1) blogging is a qualitative practice.
2) there is the issue of the database (CB radio = no database). the article references this (‘ghost blogs’ in search engines).
3) Lastly, assumption of media involving people having ’something to say’ (archaic transmission model of media circulation), rather than having ’something to discuss’ (newer immanent event-based models of media with episodic publics, etc)

anyone with any sense of what is going on with the interwebs would’ve laughed at the article, and then slapped the author in the head with a trout.
