One of the great things about blogs is that there appears to be as many different interpretations and definitions as to what they are as there are bloggers producing them. We could all sit down and throw out a few ideas as to what a blog contains or standards it must adhere to in order for it to be perceived as a fully-fledged blog. Once you’ve laid out that set of boxes that need to be ticked, you then develop a sliding scale of ‘blogginess’. If you have comments enabled, recent posts, a blogroll of links and an RSS feed you might be 58% bloggy by some people’s reckoning.

At last week’s Next Generation Marketing Conference (which was a second cousin twice removed from exceptional – get yourself to Martinsburg June 12th) I heard something spouted from one of the attendees early on that I haven’t read or heard for a good three or four years. Somebody actually said in reference to blogging:
“I don’t have time to read blogs.”
I’d forgotten my reaction to this statement, but I soon remembered it was akin to taking a punch to the bread basket whilst simultaneously slapping yourself on the forehead ‘doh-ing’ on each slap. A sort of violent anathema to the belly rub head pat trick.

According to a new survey, the fairer sex really likes blogging:
- 53% of online women across age groups read blogs

Blog Your Way to a Footloose and Fancy-Free Flashdance »

I’ve no idea what my dearly beloved’s blood alcohol level needs to reach before she hits social critical mass, but she always manages to reach it.
Never in our illustrious history of being together have we ever been to a bar and she not turn into the evening’s social conduit. She’s not one of those types who’s embarrassing, just super social. The only problem is that she always manages to pick on those whose madness borders on the clinical.
Saturday night saw us in Columbus and visiting some biker bar sans bikers. The band were some hideous 80’s throwbacks – not only tune-wise, but also style-wise.
Think Kenny Loggins. Think Emilio Estevez in The Breakfast Club. Think Kevin Bacon in Footloose. Continue reading →
