When I hear "blogger", it connotes a term used by an aging, embittered, late-night copy editor in some musty, crumbling, downtown newspaper building. "Blog" is the word decrepit, diaper-strapped chaps use to categorize all (and I do mean ‘all’) sites on the internet that aren’t owned by corporations. In other words, a website that isn’t completely overrun with annoying (see rich media), ad-based collateral activity (see timeout @ Dallas Mavs home game). THIS is a blog (and a damn entertaining one at that). Blogs relate to someone’s personal experiences. When the author of that blog obsesses over traffic and concerns him/herself with commercial activity relating to that site, it ceases to be a blog. In other words, SbB is not a blog. It is a commercial website. I don’t write about the brand of toothpaste I prefer - or the number of times per week that I change the catbox. Blogs are about personal experience. They are no different than a personal diary. Anything outside of that ain’t a blog, lil’ buddy.
