Why Weblogs Are Good

There are many rea­sons why weblogs are, on the whole, A Good Thing, but the main reason to keep one is com­ments like this one. I don’t know about you, but I still find it really amaz­ing that you can say some­thing, and a couple of months later some­one from God knows where pops up and responds, in this case at some length. The inter­net, eh? Magic.

And it’s get­ting more mag­i­cal, too: I can’t wait for the day when all these help­ful little tech­nolo­gies like Track­back 1 are all growed up and that com­ment linked to above leads off to a dizzy­ing spiral of infor­ma­tion nodes and opin­ion clumps all over the world.

  1. Jesus, spam­mers just get more and more devi­ous. I’m not sure whether to be pissed off or to be pleased that who­ever this bizarre bit of adver­tis­ing orig­i­nated from think that the ol’ Submit Response is impor­tant enough to merit the effort of post­ing this.

  2. Deleted. I’ve had to ban about 10 IPs in the past month. There must be some­thing about MT that makes com­ment spam­ming easy to do.
