blogging is good

In response to my good colleague Matt, who hates blogs and thinks they're useless, I think blogging is great. I used to think 'blogs are useless, what do i care about some random person I've never met who has an opinion about something?'. But when you think about it, blogs are nothing but opinions, views, or explanations on a certain event or subject. Who in our society works for a media organization that gets to portrait their own personal view on the world?...Some guy (or girl) who gets paid to do so. Are we supposed to only listen to these people? Who are they to us? That's why blogs are a good service to society. Its the anonymous person who has their own opinion, and is able to relay their own views on a particular subject and isn't paid to do so or doesn't has the fortunate chance to express their opinion on the public just because they happen to work for a major media outlet because they have a journalist degree. The traffic (or audience) a blogger gets is judged by a mathematical algorithm that a major search engine deems relevant. I'd rather hear Google's or Yahoo's relevance rating than Rupert Murdock's! For example, how many movies have you seen that you enjoyed but the critics deemed crap? Or how many albums you bought sucked but some critic who works for Rolling Stone Magazine said it rocked? That's my point. Some person who gets paid because they kissed somebody's butt to get a job as a journalist gets to dictate whats good or bad.
Blogging, on the other hand, opens doors to everybody else who's opinion is just as valid as some jackass like Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck (man i hate that guy). Sure there are a lot of people who are totally ignorant and down right useless that have a blogging site, but at least you had the opportunity to read their pointless thoughts and form your own opinion.
Therefore, if you have a view, opinion or some indisputable facts about a subject, event, or life in general, Blog On!!!
