Blogvertising.

Man.

I was browsing the blogs (you know, pressing the "next blog" blogger kindly provides) and out of maybe 20 blogs, I'd say 15 were those bloody new blogs that provide you with links to other sites, kind of like the yellow pages, but in blog form. When did this happen? Seriously, if this is the future of blogging then bring back the infinite legions of semi-illiterate teenagers raging against inept teachers and "tHaT BiTcH hEaTHuR, ShIez sUCh a SkANk!".

I'm all for expanding and exploring the boundaries of blogging, but ffs, this is the online equivalent of the crappy photocopied flyers people shove at you on street corners. In Long street they are always for the gold dealers and pawn places andcorner markets, in sapporo they always seem to be for snack bars with unusually muntery "hostesses".

Something in me just kind of quails at the thought of this: it just seems so artless and mercenary.
