Post blog ergo propter blog.

While I've been having a good time reading the class blogs I have to be honest, I'm bored as can be with reading blogs. I've never found reading daily blogs that interesting. I'd rather pull my own teeth out than read a political blog every day.

But, will political blogs become an key part of the political institution? I don't think it would. There is a difference between having influence and becoming part of an in institutional system. So much of what we attribute to blogs may not truly be because of blogs, but it sure feels good to say that blogs had such an impact.

Now, after a couple weeks of reading mainstream blogs every day I feel like chewing my own foot off. It seems like the same thing again and again, most of the information I've heard of elsewhere, the analysis is, more often than not, limp, and not really something I care a great deal about.

Why do I like reading the class blogs? Because they are about a topic I'm interested in, not as much sorting the wheat from the chaff.
