It seems that as each new member becomes acclimated to ProU, they feel it necessary to post SEVERAL blogs about what they did that day. Or how they'd never had a blog before. And quite honestly, how do you expect us to read these and not delete them?
I can click any blog on the site and decide to delete it. It's not hard. Quite easy, actually. I can unpublish blogs. I can do most anything to any blog. But what I cannot do is read these insipid cookie cutter blogs.
If you would like to tell the world about what you did today, please, move on to LiveJournal.com or MySpace.com or Facebook.com or any one of the numerous websites out there that allow you to keep an online diary. However, on ProU, you're competing for money. Turning off your readers because you post 100 times a day is no way to win. Posting blogs about how your boyfriend just broke up with you is not how you win. We are blogging for progress.
Now, I will admit that I will let some blogs that I don't quite think belong slide by. For instance, blogs concerning bulemia and anorexia. I don't think that those things need to quite be posted here, but they've got an audience. So, you know, if you've got one of those "diseases" you should probably post a blog on it and get lots of reads, ratings, and comments telling you how sorry everyone is for you. Maybe I should post one?
But I digress, The point of ProU is to provide an outlet for the logical and analytical audience. People like DB who post completely researched, well written, amazingly factual blogs seem to get a ton of reads. And because many of his posts deal with God, he gets a lot of comments. And he takes as much time as everyone else on here (and then some, I'm sure) to read every blog that he comes across and leave his $.10. And you know, I can't bash that.
However, there are other users, whom I won't name, feel it necessary to misspell every single word, slaughter the english language, and basically act as if they never learned to read.
In the end, I urge all users out there, young and old, to check your sources, don't type in ALL CAPS (BECAUSE IT'S ANNOYING), and try to be a better blogger.
