Separating the Big Boys from the Pretenders

Posted in The Web at 6:21 pm by Jeremiah Wittevrongel

Owing to today’s date, I’ve developed a surefire way to separate the wheat from the chaff as far as blogs go.

Real blogs, with worthwhile content, don’t bother devoting an entire calendar day (April 1) each year to fake news that’s supposed to be funny, but merely serves to annoy anyone interested in actual news. I like the occaisional April Fool’s prank as much as the next person, but most of the things posted to weblogs as April Fool’s jokes are lame, and not amusing in the slightest.

For instance, we get crap like OMG! Ponies! from some weblogs. Come on Mr. Malda – isn’t it time you grew up just a little bit? And feel free to go ahead and whine about how it’s your weblog and you can do whatever you want. I’ve moved on to sites where there’s actually some content worth reading.
