Motivational pictures, how I love thee

If you have ever worked in an office no doubt you would have received one of these "motivational emails". These are hillarious and I feel a little simply laughing at it. But these photos point out some of the weird stuff in the world. Lets have a look.

Twitter, I hate Thee


Meet Twitter, the new kid in school. This social networking service seems friendly enough, plays well with other technologies, and is totally cool in a geeky sort of way.

Twitter invites anyone with a computer to open an account and get their own personal Web page. There, they can upload endless updates on their doings in 140 characters or less. Twitter members can invite friends to join or hook up with new friends via the service and receive instant updates from everyone with whom they choose to connect.

Now if you ask me , I think twitter is useless our a high paced professional who can only afford a couple of seconds to post a status on where they are going for lunch. But generally peoples Twitters are just stupid one line jokes or comments about peoples lives that are totally uninteresting and pointless. if Jensen@Sydscene is stoked that he had a healthy filling lunch, I don't wanna hear about it. Heres a link to someone I knows twitter page. Look at the status or tweets and tell me if there is one interesting one. And I know people will say, but my twitter is more interesting and I make funny observations, and the celebrity pages are cool and it's good to keep a list of what I've done.

One: your Twitter is not interesting or funny, and you are no better than people who tweet about their sandwiches.

Two: I have never read a good or funny Twitter from a celebrity, even if the celebrity is a person I otherwise enjoy.

Three: whatever utility Twitter might have as a small-scale personal diary or communication cloud is negated by Twitter's tendency to clog up with @ replies and other nonsense.


If modern web design means that breaking news comes through Twitter in between “Mm, a BLT” and “@tweetfan22 I had macaroni too!” then I want no part in the Internet of tomorrow.

The Ugly

Look I really underestimated how hard it was to find "bad" and "ugly" blogs. You can't really search terrible blogs in google or Technorati. It's more so by luck or lack of luck that one comes accross a shocking blog. I used up my best material on "The Bad" so here's my the ugly

Fail

The only thing wrong with this blog is that its a tad busy. Apart from this, I love this blog. It is HILARIOUS, and it points out everything ugly in the world. Not in a deep way, just you find the stupidest things in the world here.

Over and out

The Bad

So we've looked at the good in my opinion, lets have a glance at the bad

PopLife

This is my first example. The sites too busy in my opinion, The blogs are to short and frustrating not giving a link to and more information about their posting. One can easily confuse the advertisements for the articles or related links. Bad business all in all.

But to prove that I'm not biased his one of my friends blogs for their band. The blog is terrible, namely because they were to lazy to put any information on it

The Fighting League

That is all, god speed.

The Good Blogs

More on blogging from your favourite friend of Optimus Prime continued

The good –

Special and Book Club

Now I'm very biased about these because all these blogs are done by friends of mine. But saying this, looking at them it's clear that their successful blogs in my opinion. Aesthetically they are very pleasing. The provide information in a clear and concise way and lastly there's no bullshit. It's setup to inform you about their clothes and it those so successfully.
But beause its my friends blogs I'll choose another which I have no prior affiliation with...

Drum Roll

SBS Movie Blog

Why is it good, I like the look of it. I like what it shows me and its information and lastly it's realiable and not bullshit excuse my french. The next post... The Bad!

More on blogging from your favourite friend of Optimus Prime

I have decided my blog style is going to very relaxed but at the same time credible and hopefully well written.
I'm warming more to the whole blogging idea, there's some cool blogs which are informative, insightful and not to let alliteration down interesting. Yet at the same time there is so, so, so many useless blogs out their. In this blog I shall explore. The good the bad and the ugly of blog posts...

In the next post! Sorry sports fans but I've decided to break up this blog entry into four separate blogs. Just it's just to space it out a bit and enable RSS feeds without there being so many. Look maybe this is not the best way to do it, so if it isn't for all the people who are following my blog just tell me. Hearing from people is sick, cheers Dazz

First entry or entry first in pig latin

So I'm a student at University of Canberra and am creating a blog for a unit which is Networked Media. This is my blog, I have nothing of interest but blankness drives me to suicide.

My question of the day, does being a blogger make you self involved with an under current of desperation for everyone to hear ones own opinion or is it just a fun way to get ur opinions out there, I'm still yet to decide
