Today, there are hundreds of millions of people out there and over a billion web pages. So begins the great disillusionment. Though there are more and more sites, there seem to be fewer and fewer that can hold my interest. Perhaps Blogger has made web creation too easy. People used to link to sites they thought their visitors could appreciate.
Blogs seem to have devolved, in the majority, to a high-tech web ring of sorts.
Meaning is sacrificed for a quick one-liner buzz, with links to other blogs that link to yet more blogs that refer to what someone said on another blog. Kerouac just drove up and down the peninsula and then wrote about it. I've got a name for it. That the majority of what goes on today on weblogs should be compared to the Beat Generation musings and writings of Jack Kerouac is simply laughable. I didn't think so.
