Proof that blogs remain relevant

Let’s face it, ‘blog’ is an awful word. Still, there are some blogs that do what they do well

“Blog” is possibly the ugliest word in the English language. It’s similar to what cats say just before hacking up hairballs. Or what people who have bowling balls hurled into their stomachs exhale as their organs crush against each other. If a food was called blog you would not eat it. Ever.

Thing is, this online tool with the sad moniker is possibly the greatest and simplest of all online achievements: written content that’s brought to John Q. Websurfer seconds after it’s written. Instant gratification is the name of the 2.0 game. That little child inside all of us that we’ve been shushing for years is finally getting his say. Cookies for dessert? No, cookies now! Here are some standout blogs that happen to be working quite well.

So should this

Sometimes things are so uncute and unfunny they can only become enjoyable when revisited through another’s reality. Seems really enlightened to us, but we’ll give it a shot.
