And to think that most of these blogs won't be read...

And to think that most of these blogs won't be read...

Pretty much the reason I won't be creating a blog in the near future.

I thought about it last week, but would people really be interested in hearing about the code I am using on a certain site, or what my dog ate for breakfast?I think not!

There are some good blogs but TBH, as with everything else, there are a hell of a lot of absolutley $hit ones.

I appreciate that it is nice for people to have an online presence, it does however invite people into your personal life a little too much with some of the blogs I have seen.

Each to their own I guess.

Yeah, I'm not to hip on providing a potential stalker with my innermost secrets.

I just see it as a fad that will fade eventually, there has been loads of fads on the net, press usually hype them beyond reasons but eventually everyone losse interest and it becomes history

I just don't have time to put up a blog and keep it up to date.

I am about to setup my first blog, not a personal one but a business blog just to help flog my services.

I have a blog or two. But my blog is more of a release than anything else. I use it to cover web marketing, Wales and rugby which just about sums up my life

I also have a couple of blogs that I use for other things, but the nutty blog is my favourite, although I am not sure that anyone reads it lol.

I guess the only worthwile blog that I know of are from celebrities (gossip, gossip ,gossip!) or the "google blog" which is written by the employees from Google usually about the new stuff they're working on.

Is it just me or are blogs everywhere, people are even cramming them into their websites to take place of the index page.

Blogs are good for sharing ideas and networking but I don't think one should go around creating blogs for the sake of it.

Google loves blogs and visits them quite often

A lot of people set them up to advertise their websites.

Blogs, especially hosted blogs also makes life easier for spammers.

The internet is overloaded with blogs. It's a waste of time imho to start a blog. I started a blog on making money online but never got any significant viewership.
