Drivel-Pushing Bloggers
Is it a slow news day today? The Daypop Top 40 puts this Google advertisement at the 21st most popular article in the past day. And, it’s just an ad for Froogle. I quote:
“Want one [insert object here] of your own? Just go to Froogle.”
And that’s the substance of it: unmitigated greed mixed with “word of mouth” viral blog marketing.
If you wonder why the news media doesn’t take blogging seriously, look no further. When blogs turn into marketing tools, who cares to read ‘em? Not me– I wish I had a regex .kill file for blogs talking about this URL.
