"Most Blogs Are Not Good"

For an outstanding exposition of the merits and demerits of bloggers and blogging, see the inimitable Roger Abramson here.

I suppose that my view of blogging is skewed by the fact that I typically only read those that I consider to be good. Thus, I treat blogs the same way I do books and newspapers and other sources of information. Other than The Tennessean editorial page, which I seem to read for the same reason that gawkers can't take their eyes off of a bad accident, I don't waste my time reading things that don't have value for me.

Mr. Abramson is undoubtedly correct that most blogs aren't worth reading. Of course, he might suggest that about this one.
