It's a blog. Right?
Thank you for playing this game, if I guessed correctly, I win the prize!

I am kidding, but in all seriousness, I am going to blog about blogs. This is my most hated blog topic, but let's get metaphysical.
Blogs fill the void between War and Peace and Archie Comics. Blogs are personal, so they make us feel connected in the metallic world of cyberspace, and they're instant, so they fulfill our need to have the latest information RIGHT NOW.
Blogs are also varied. If you've been watching this blog, you've already seen 3 of my favorite bloggers, and you've seen just how different these three are. Seth is a marketing guru, Nie Nie is a stay-at-home Mormon Mommy, and Monet is a baker with the soul of a poet with the soul of an artist with the soul of a baker.
Whatever your interest is, there is a blog to tell you what you want to know. But, like all the communications tools I've mentioned here, use blogs with caution. The benefit of a blog is that ANYONE can get published. The problem with blogs is that ANYONE can get published.
Would you listen to some guy on the street telling you the top ten best ways to make a million or fall in love? I hope not. Bloggers are like that random guy. The internet is deceptive because we can construct the image we would like to portray, whereas real life is more honest. A blog might look authoritative, but unless you know who the author is, or you know his/her professional affiliations, assume he is just another kid like you, sitting at his computer, spitting out the first idea he thinks of.
Don't take blog authors too seriously. Not even me.
