This scabrous attack on blogging, however cruel its generalisations, does in fact raise some interesting questions about the nature of the weblog.

Who are we writing for? What do we seek to achieve?

And what constitutes a weblog, anyway? Matt uses his to share interesting sites, to relate his own experiences and to talk about new and exciting bits of technology. Kottke details the rock'n'roll life of the alpha geek. Kitschbitch writes articles inspired by another site or her own experiences, but in a very different mode. Is there a common thread, or is there actually nothing beyond the fact that all these people use software packages which do about the same thing to do about the same thing?
