Everytime I read someone's take on the recent surge of blogs to the world, I'm instantly defensive. After all, this blog has only been around since February of this year, according to the timelines, it's worthless since it wasn't the among first and it isn't like some of the older blogs.

But shit, how does anything grow and evolve if only a handful of people are part of the process? And why is it an expectation that each and every weblog make every reader see the world or the web in a different way? Why can't it just be about me saying whatever the hell I want to and you reading it, or not?
