Sullivan/Andersen Revisited

Christian Crumlish

reverse cowgirl has the best summary I've seen yet of the weblog discussion in Slate. Some excerpts:

...then Mr Sullivan says he likes to blog because he hates people. and editors. then he says he would like to have sex with Moby... after that, Sullivan says that people are interesting ... Andrew confesses he blogs naked. ... Sullivan insults Kurt, making fun of how Kurt's baby, Inside.com, is now in the crapper. ... then,Kurt begins by pretending he can't smell the insult dumpA.S. just took on Kurt's head. ... then he kisses Andrew's rear.... after that, Kurt confesses he, too, also wants to have sex with Moby. ... Kurt closes by saying that all blogs are dumb and that he doesn't have time for them anyway.

She catches the flavor and absurdity of the dialogue to a tee.

Reverse Cowgirl rides off into the sunset.: The Merry Pranksters had a slogan, or actually, they had several slogans, but the one I'm thinking of right now is "Nothing lasts." I'm a great believer in lifecycles. Just about everything on this planet - even phenomena - gets born, lives, and then dies. Blogs are no excepts. Some weblogs... (Blogosphere)
Upstreaming theory: OK, I think the reason why my Mediajunkie page hasn't been upstreaming is that my year-long Radio license must have expired. What I'd like to know is why I wasn't automatically invited to renew it when the time was up? Doesn't UserLand want my money? Anyway, I did just re-up for... (Products)
AOL Journals found wanting: Salon blogger Rayne Today has been trying out the AOL Journals feature and has some criticisms to share. UPDATE: Rayne Today has also posted further comments about problems with AOL's approach to blogs (The Clone War Quagmire and earlier entries).... (Products)
