Glad I never blog...

scary..

although it is a powerful avenue if you have some ideas you want people to hear about, readership for some of these goes up in the 10's of thousands of unique viewers a day

in general, it's a fairly straightforward means for the "non-technical" to self-publish on the web. the content - diary, professional docs, whatever, are up to the publisher.

as with most things in life, depending on the purpose and goal of establishing a blog, moderation can be a good rule of thumb.

yes. And most of them are as exciting as reading a guide on how to program your VCR.

I could never read through an entire blog. Most people have no writing skills.

Now Meeyatch1's blog about hiding out in Carguy's garage was hilarious. He's a true poet. :biggrin:
 
We interviewed a friend of mine at my last company many months ago.

A little background on him is necessary. He's a big guy at 6'6" and @ 230lbs but very mild mannered. He loves winnie the pooh and has pooh decor all over his cube. Nice guy, who also btw has never had a driver's license and never driven (he's 34).

So a few weeks after we interview him we're waiting for final approval plus he hadn't officially accepted the offer. My boss comes up and says to google our company name (small company). Well the third link down is for "Wolfie's blog page" and if you scrolled down a bit you found entries with our company name. He wrote 3 days worth of stuff, mostly good. The funny part was not that we were referenced and found his entries but what was below that. There were basically tons of semi-hardcore porn pics along with one that was an animated gif of a transvestite. There was a whole section devoted to women washing cars in the nude with comments under them like "wow, she can wash my car anytime". Remember, he has never even driven, let alone owned a car.

It was pretty amusing, he was embarassed and moved his site immediately.

wow, that is an amazing tale. :eek:

did he get the job?
 
No he didn't take the job because it required a small amount of travel. He likes to travel more than he likes to drive I guess.

What was unique about his blog was that you saw a side of Wolfie that you never could have imagined existed.

Uhmm, is it just me or should you knida wonder about any 34 year old man who LOVES whinnie the pooh and has Pooh all over his cube? WTF is that. I have kids and if anyone spied on my house they would be scared to see me acting like an idiot sining Wiggles songs, but I makes my two year old laugh and to me that is one of the best feelings in the world to me. On the other hand a 34 year old dude who loves Pooh because he loves Pooh is a little messed up to me. JMO
