“Everywhere I looked I saw the same features with which we’re all familiar: hopeful linkylurve, memes, indulgent/tiresome self-disclosure… the only distinguishing factors in most cases being strength and combination. I won’t make a sweeping statement about its value – at the very least it entertains, & that’s something. But to me, a person who isn’t looking to promote myself within it, the “blogosphere” (*CRINGE*) is overwhelmingly dull, and I suppose that made it quite easy to opt out.
