Oh what the heck...I'll copy out this whole thread and stick it in a
post amd add my usual "unique" view on the situation. I'm the one who
suggested it in the first place after all. I'll make sure that everyone
knows it's Pat's fault though.

Okay then, who writes the post? Perhaps Pat should put one on his blog
and send us the link?

How do we define "garbage" outside of splogs and post harvesting
type blogs
that are there simply for advertising purposes? And once we come to
some
sort of definition (not likely) how could the blogosphere possibly be
re-organized?
Sounds like good fodder for a blog post. :D

have to agree that there is far more garbage out there now.
WordPress.com, Blogger, et al have made it extremely easy for
anybody with
half a brain to create a blog; although what Google, and moreso
Automattic,
are doing for the blogosphere is noble, is it just making it too
easy to
create garbage?
If you are forced to take time to get a blog online, maybe it sorts
between
those who are 'dedicated' to making great content or getting a message
accross, as apposed to those who just fancy writing about a meal
they had
last night.
However - maybe this isn't a bad thing?! If I'm stuck for somewhere to
eat,
I'd appreciate a blog post on a great local chinese resteraunt than a
long,
well written piece on Barack Obama!
Does this call for us to re-organise the blogosphere?
