Why Bloggers Know Everything

June 3rd, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Hints and Tips, Worthless, guides

IF I was being serious and bloggers really did know everything, then the reason would be;

  • They’re blog is on a topic they have studied, worked on, or enjoyed as a hobby for years.

Since I’m not really being serious, and bloggers really don’t know everything, no matter how intelligent they may seem.  I’ll just come straight out and say, Most bloggers have no legitamite idea what they’re writing about, atleast half of the time.  Now some of you may be thinking that means bloggers just Bullshit their way through entire articles?

This was brought to my attention when I read a comment to an article on digg.  Of course the article was about how to pick up chicks and it was written by someone who spends all of his time on the computer and smoking weed (according to the site’s theme).  You can check out the site here.  So anyways, this comment stated that the author cleary had no idea what he was talking about.  I’m sure most bloggers just spam out articles and forget/don’t choose to proof read their articles.  Sometimes this leads to leaving out key points and important parts of certain posts.

So, in my opinion the commentor was being a little too harsh.  The ability to BS complete articles seems to me like some what of a sign of genius.  Every other blogger on the internet, and myself have written an article simply for the benefits at one point or another.  This often times leaders to failure, but can sometimes bring in traffic for spurr of the moment topics.

Also, the aire of intelligence and self confidence leads people to believe whatever the author says.  When an author tells something matter-of-fact-like he’s doing better for himself than he would be if he were to say something as if he wasn’t sure about it.  Plus, most people browsing the internet are seeking information on the internet, and aren’t likely to call you out if you’re wrong.

When a blogger writes something that he/she doesn’t know anything about, you can probably expect it to be true enough to believe.  Educated guesses and hypotheses are what found scientific theories and eventually end up as solid results.  Don’t expect things that you’re reading on blogs to be untrue either, because many bloggers look into what they’re posting about before typing up the article.

OMg.. I totally just BS’d my way through that entire article.  I’m serious too, I don’t think it came out very well.

Juicy Campus

May 17th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Life of Slice?, World, internet

Apparently another guy was arrested over making an obviously fake threat on the internet today.  The threat was Made on JuicyCampus, which is a site where kids/teens can gossip about their schools I guess.  Something I would never use, but I guess it’s pretty popular (It is now! lol).  I know threats are wrong, and you shouldn’t do it in real life, nor on the internet… but I definitely think that the people should be given a little more slack when it comes to the internet.

Despite school shootings being horrible, I’m certain mosts teens have made some wise crack about pulling a VT, and even elaborated on that.

This person was arrested for writing:

“I wonder if i could shut down the school by saying I’m going to shoot as many people as i can in my second class tomorrow.I hope I get more than 50,”

George So says, and then goes on to add

“For liability reasons and IP tracking I won’t leave it at that. But seriously, this site is rediculous [sic], if it got big, and someone put the effort into writing a big long serious suicide note informing all readers that he would kill over 100 kids, they could shut down the school. Nice.”

To me that doesn’t even sound like a threat, but the police thought that it had to be taken seriously.  Obviously with all of the recent school shootings, they needed to be careful.  George So’s colleague told the campus police about the post, and the campus police then told the city police.  George So ended up being arrested, and his apartment was searched (where no weapons were found).

So… long story short, much adieu about nothing.
