Some Saturday Fun

Joe Gandelman pointed me to this blog, "Boring Boring", and if you're looking for some light amusement it's well worth the trip. One recent piece in particular was a satirical bit on the "State of the Blogosphere."

As we drilled a little deeper into David Sifry's excellent State of the Blogosphere report, we discovered that the numbers aren't as encouraging as we first thought. While Sifry found that Technorati is logging about 500,000 posts a day compared to just 400,000 per day in October 2004, almost all those new posts -- about 90,000 a day -- are Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall going on and on about Social Security. Of those, about 10 are about policy while the remainder are devoted to political maneuvering and personal minutiae about congressmen no one's ever heard of. The remainder of the sphere-wide posting gains, meanwhile, were primarily devoted to "Friday Cat Blogging."
