What makes a blog interesting? Of course, I wouldn't say that mine is... honestly..

I'm a lousy blogger. Period.

I don't know, maybe it's just that I'm too lazy or that I feel as though my life isn't SOOO exciting that I could write a whole entry about it every other day. But I was thinking, what with the whole blogging phenomenom of late and 'celebrity' bloggers getting print space and T-shirt endorsement or what not.. What is it that makes one able to single out a particular blog from the gazillions out there?

Well, I think that blogs can be grouped into a few categories. One is the blog that gets popular by association, for example a blog of someone who has a wide network of friends OR who is pretty/goodlooking/popular in school such that the secret worshippers keep going back to their sites to feed the fires of their secret crushes. One thing that irritates me about these kind of blogs though is the blogger's tendency to post numerous pictures of themselves, obviously deluded by their attractiveness. Beware of the huge EGO in these blogs I say. Now, if you were as gorgeous as Denise Keller( i was reading her and the contestants blogs after eye for a guy tonight. Never thought that the show could be this good after the first installment) I guess it would really be eye candy for all the gawking eyes out there. But GaWd, especially with those moblogs out there..Some of them are just peppered with pics of a girl, posing for her phone cam, complete with the caption 'this is me. at the airport. hee'. And THAT apparently counts for an entry.

Now, on the other hand, there's the genuinely interesting ( in my humble opinion) kind of blog that may not be that popular but the entries are just somehow meaningful, engaging and oh did i mention how I love blogs that gives you a glimpse of life in another land? Yup, I just love being an armchair traveller, seeing as how my bank account won't currently allow me to travel AT ALL. Yet others are funny with their honesty, and some just allows you to expand your perspective on life. One blog I really did like was TheGuyOverThere, even though I only knew about it after watching EFAG, I'm glad I found this gem.. or rather these gems cos Denise's one is really good too, so are a few of the other guys. This really has changed my opinion of blogging, thank God for non-ego boosting entries!
