BLOGS vs FORUMS- HOGWASH

What is a blog? I found the following definition on another BLOG and I think it fits my BLOG perfectly. A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links. What else is it really. I did get into a discussion with someone recently regarding the uselessness of BLOGs - and no - this time it was not Rob. This person was more interested in ‘sharing his ideas in forums’ REALLY - now in my many years of experience - no one is really interested in anyone else’s experiences except in ways that they relate to themselves. Think about most conversation. You talk - then you wait for your turn to talk again - most of the time thinking up your thoughts and responses - FORUM - HOGWASH - that is really just a platform of pretentiousness - you actually think someone really cares what you think about. The BLOG is true - you write for yourself - not for someone else at all and in this way is a much truer form of communication. Anyway - had a great trip to @^%$^*^ and made it back really really late!! We had a good time. I really wish the booth had been busier. It appeared to have an invisible fence that people had to run thru risking shock - most did not. I did get a few #!&&# yellers about mom and pop businesses - but it was just very slow for the most part. A bit scary. I think we desperately need a new product- we have not had one for a couple of years - new items that will not cannibalize our current sets would really rock!! More later - Check back for more photos of me and my latest famous buddies! PEACE OUT! J
