I've been skimming around the blogosphere, looking for interesting people to argue with. And there are thousands. Which is good. I like arguing. But there are countless bloggers who only blog about blogging. They don't rant about the economy or wax lyrical about the arts or just plain vent their spleen to anyone who'll listen. Instead, they proclaim their wisdom about keywords and search engine optimisation. WTF? Where's the fun in arguing about that?
Reproductive Tweeting And most of these people spend most of their time hanging out on Twitter. They Tweet an incessant stream of tinyurl links to their own blogs, where they have published an enlightened re-production of other people's ideas. Blogging about bloging is about as pointlessly re-productive an activity as boiling one's penis.
 SEO experts, stick your penis in here. Do these people have such miserable and pointless lives that they can only measure their self esteem by the number of Twitter followers they have attracted, or the numbers of visitors that google their way to their blogs?
What kind of sad and pathetic fuckstain opens up a Twitter account and then spends hours and hours tracking down thousands of people they don't know to follow, whilst only Tweeting a half dozen messages about search engine fucking optimisation? I find it incredible to imagine that people actually do this. The only explanation is that they don't.DesperateI have calculated that there are 16.7 times more people on Twitter than there are people with access to the internet. This must mean that everyone on Twitter has 23,453 accounts, which they frantically log in and out of, following themselves and reTweeting their own posts in the vain and desperate attempt to generate more traffic to their tediously dull blog and hence add another 0.00000023 pence to their GoogleAds income.
So here I am, blogging about bloggers who blog about blogging. If it weren't for the fact that I don't give a shit if anyone ever reads this, I'd collapse under the sheer weight of postmodern irony.
