Bookmark a blog? Are you nuts?

October 24, 2007

Just read an article in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune that was described as the ‘411 on blogs’ for those folks who don’t understand what a blog is.

Looked interesting until I read “When you find a blog you enjoy, it’s common to bookmark that page so you can return often and with ease.”

Are you nuts? Bookmarking blogs would only be done by someone with a lot of time on their hands. You know, here’s a lot of bookmarks on my browser and I spend all day going back to blogs I like to see if they posted anything new. ‘Nope, nothing new today, I’ll check back tomorrow and now on to the next blog in my bookmarks.’

You subscribe to blogs. You do not bookmark them. When a new post is made to a blog you like, the new post will automatically be streamed to your newsreader where you collect RSS feeds from other blogs, news sites, and keywords & key phrases you follow from Google Blog Search.

The busiest people in this country read blogs. It’s not the people with time to kill that browse around to blogs. They read blogs because they can get targeted information fed to them.

It’s a search, browse, and subscribe Internet society today folks. We’ve moved on from the search and browse world.
