So it turns out that different people have different thoughts around what a meta-blog would be. Some versions include:

• A blog describing other blogs like this guy. It appears to be around a specific theme, something like fandom. No idea what that is..
• pdf23ds created a metablog because “at the time my main projecty interest was in ways of improving the quality and pleasantness of blogospheric debates, which, of course, is a metablogoshperical-typed task.” I had to leave a comment (my first), and filled in ‘nerd’ in the mandatory ’species’ field, so my comment was rejected
• What I found most interesting was this blog about blog marketing. In a way a meta-blog also, providing me with some ideas of how companies may create a policy around having their employees blog about things that could include the company itself. This appears to be a very novel idea, and worth exploring further.

I am going to continue my experiment a little longer, see where it leads me.

57 Million Blogs on the Web. And now one more. Why?

Well, first of all, 57M people can’t all be wrong (or can they..?). If this many people all over the world think they have something to say and a Blog is the way to say it, there must be something to it. Being a bit of a technology-dragger, I am now now at the point where I have to have one, and I am officially on my way up the learning curve.

The second reason is that I do have something to say. A lot, if you stop to think about it. I’m really quite opinionated about a lot of things. But I typically don’t get to stop and think about it, and as a result, the world will have to do without my intellectual contributions, words of wisdom, and other non-sense that may or may not be useful for anyone in particular.

So this blog is an experiment to see if a short attention span, coupled with a media made for a short attention span world, can lead to fame.

Blog-fame, that is.
