10 Reasons Not To Blog

1. These days most of those surfing the web prefer reading status updates to blogs – it takes less time.

2. You can't see the trees because of the astroturf. Likewise, you'll get way more link spam than comments from people who've actually read your content.

3. If you write something over 800 words in length, virtually no one will reach the end.

4. To get a point across you have to keep repeating it, which is boring after a while.

5. No one is interested in what you've got to say – not even your mom (although she'll be monitoring your web activity because she suspects you're taking drugs and wants 'proof' before she confronts you about it).

6. People are conditioned for instant gratification and just click through to a new page every few seconds.

7. Technorati really sucks – the rss feeds they take from blogs like this get screwed around at their end and the posts don't show up on their site.

8. No one trusts the views of bloggers because of the way PR companies have attempted to manipulate this medium.

9. Sometimes it's really difficult to even think of ten points to create a formula blog, and you waste an hour on a post instead of getting it done in five minutes.

10. Blogs have gone out of fashion because they are like so noughties.
