Blogging on Blogging
October 1st, 2008Thanks God! I am not that popular on the internet and neither is my blog. This blog contains nothing but just my life happenings and some random thoughts.
Coming to the point, I am a heavy blog reader and have many blogs subscribed on my Feed Reader or Google Reader. I always add and remove subscriptions after finding them useful and spammy respectively. Slowly slowly there are more of respected tech blogs rather than those crazy tech bloggers who have nothing rather than reproducing articles from trusted sources like Ars, Wired etc.
Anomit had kicked badly the arses of those so called religious bloggers in this post on this blog. A citation is well required.
Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts and get ready to be taken through a whirlwind tour through the kingdom of the self proclaimed ‘tech bloggers’ who profess to live, eat and breathe technology. Soon you would come to know they fart too.
Some generalized observations on the sweeping epidemic that is ‘tech blogging’ :
1. Someone starts a damn, fucking blog with a nice theme. Point to be noted. He could later throw around that fact and claim to be a CSS geek.
2. He starts writing vociferously about mobile phones, ‘gadgets’, ‘latest tech news’ (sic), ‘tips and tricks’ (did I forget to add Windows here?), ‘tweaks’ (o yeah, what’s next? tweaking nipples video on youtube?) etc etc
3. Uses the term ‘geek’ atleast once while describing himself.
Another thing is that blogging about blogging is really lame. It is taken up by those people who don’t have any work and want to be famous without effort. I have seen many many people who only blog on “Blogging and making money from blog” and yeah, they make lots of money and regularly showcase their Adsense cheques in the blog. While browsing on the net, I had seen Anirudh’s post on Blogging about Blogging.
Lets take a practical example of Blogging about Blogging. If you were so much into earning money from blogs, you should have saw Rishi Raj’s tech blog. Hey! Its a tech blog, then how come “Blogging about Blogging and Making money?” Well! That’s a thing warped in mystery. This famous blogger has retired citing reasons like studies and academics. He sold his blog to someone and started a personal blog where he hasnt posted since ages. This proves that when adrenalin runs through your spines its more of intoxication and then your career dies a painful death.
His blog is down and isnt being shown up on google search. I have tried to get a page from the Internet Archive and here is the whole cache.
That was enough for today, wait and watch for the rest.

I knew one such kid, tech-buzz.net and now apparently teamed up his brother to create tagz.in *yaawwwn* for the first time code became cheap and useless.

Yeah! To even eliminate evil, one has to enter their premises. But this is just a bashing of those so intelligent tech bloggers.
Well, we really need to ignore those tech bloggers who have really no idea of technology and real Computers content. Well leave kids, isnt Micheal Arrington enough? His blog post on TechCrunch on Chrome was one such masterpiece.
