Nick Carr is right — sort of

Started by mathewi · 1 year ago

As a blogger, I naturally feel compelled to add my two cents (1.8 cents U.S.) to the blogosphere pile-up over Nick Carr’s comments on A-listers and the “innocent fraud” that blog proponents purportedly promulgate — that fraud being the idea that ... Continue reading »

    I must be getting old or something. While Nick has gotten under many people's skin, including Mike Arrington's over on Crunchnotes, I can't even work up a lick of outrage at Nick's comments. Does that make me an "M-prime" lister?

    I think you need remedial blogging lessons, Paul. If you can't get up any outrage at Nick's comments, maybe you could develop some over Mike's use of the a**hole word. Or try something easier -- a series of ad hominem attacks on various thinly-disguised A-listers :-)

    A transparent — and liquid — market for the ad spaces on single-creator media solves the problem, as adbitrageurs will profit from identifying and helping to popularize undervalued blogs…

    I dunno why people get pissed at Nick - the world needs curmudgeons like him. And a few others I can think of. WIthout the Nick's of this world, 'we'd' end up as A-list brown nosers...ooops...we already are. Remember the cartoon on Guy Kawasaki's blog showing some peasant offering up Stormhoek to get an audience with Prince Scoble? What's changed? Very little.

    Well, I know why I blog; it's a way for me to self-motivate, to get things done.

    If I look over the past week and think, "I've got nothing done!", that depresses me, but if I go back over my blog and see that, while I didn't get much project work done, I was at least busy doing useful things, then that's OK.

    As for why Nick blogs, that's starting to sound like "Why an I here?" Don't sweat it, Nick, have a glass of wine, enjoy the company of friends and family, make some music, enjoy the weather. You think too much.
