i just find it irritating that people have started self-identifying as 'bloggers'. and i'm getting email from people asking if we build 'blogs. it all reminds me of the simpsons episode with Gabbo! everyone wanted Gabbo! more Gabbo! what does Gabbo do? i dunno, but i need more of it.

yeah, i got that from your initial question. everything was 'push.' push technology. hadda be push. otherstuff came and went. then it was portals. everyone everywhere babbling on and fucking on about portals. totally unclear in either case that 95% of the people who hadda have this stuff really knew in the least what the fuck they were talking about.

so now its blogs, is it? oh well. it'll pass.

Yeah, it's just another iteration in the "what's cool now" sweepstakes. There is a purist school of thought that the title "blog" should only apply to actual web logs, that is, sites that keep track of links and possibly allow commentary on them. Everything thing else is a journal or just a site. It's just a handy label.

I understand the words yall used, but none of this makes any sense. You might as well take all the words above and alphabetize them, I would understand that as much!

In fact, why DON'T we speak alphabetically?!

alphabetically, DON'T fact, In speak we why?!
