Here's a thread for shameless self-promotion for everyone here who runs their own blog.

I just updated my blog with a new theme and custom images. On it I talk about my nights out in my Uni's city of Belfast. I started it towards the end of last term and am excited to get started at uni again and review every night out.

I think I'm going to stop writing the articles as soon as I get home as I'm drunk then and make to many spelling mistakes. The quality of some reviews have been pretty poor too.

It has however started to get a little attention in Belfast and the manager of one of the clubs actually recognised me :D I'm hoping to eventually trade advertisement space in exchange for free entry and a couple of drinks. It currently gets 30-50 organic hits from Google which I'm quite pleased with but I think I can easily get it up to 100.

Belfast Nightlife

What about you guys? Anyone else got a blog?
 
Your blog is boring.
 
I haven't updated my blog (read: repository of short stories I write, not an actual blog) in ages. I'm not linking to it either.
 
i have one but i don't think you guys want to hear about transvestites and sex toys.

Please!

And...in my sig! It's a geek culture blog that I started with my girlfriend. Trying to get more writers and turn it into more of an e-zine thing. Covering topics from video games to local stores in Maine to movies and comic books.
 
This definitely makes you look like one of those people that has way more fun telling people about being ****ed up than he actually has being ****ed up. That person that drinks every night just so he can say "Oh lol guys, sometimes I wonder if im' an alcoholic!".

"OH MY GOD, AND THEN WE RAN INTO THIS HOMELESS GUY, AND IT WAS SOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!! I WAS SOOOO DRUNK!!!"

Just saying.
 
lmao, looks like HL2.net hates blogs.

If your so god damned interesting that you're positive people are even remotely curious about what you did last night, why the **** don't you just tell people in real life what you did last night, instead of fiending for attention on the internet and pretending people give a **** about your social life.

I mean ****, you talk so much about how you and your socially elite friends got into one of the hippest and most fun clubs in the world, and you've got so much to say about how many people you're always interacting with every night at the hottest spots in town. Why the **** don't you go tell THEM about how damned delicious that long island ice tea the bartender with the tight asshole made you last night before asking for your number.

Everybody goes out and does shit in their free time. Everybody thinks up really deep and philosophical quotes on life. Everybody gets drunk, everybody gets high, everybody has heartbreak, everybody lives a life. The people who write blogs don't seem to realize that everybody does this shit, and that your amazing experiences out on the town, or your random quips on the meaning of life, of your opinion on the war, are nothing new or special. We all do this shit, the majority of us just aren't conceited enough to think everybody else wants to hear about it. And those of us who do think that other people ought to hear this shit, but aren't total douchebags, go out and tell real people about it. They don't sit behind their computer and "blog" about it.

Real people exist in real life, not on a one way message board.
 
...were you saying that to me? I don't like blogs either, guy.

Read it like i'm talking to somebody who writes a blog.

YA FEEL ME DOG?

I actually have nothing against blogs in general. They're great communication tools, and can create a sense of unity within a community. thecomeupbmx.net for example, has become a means of adressing the entire BMX community about what's going on within itself. It's created something that riders around the globe can identify with.

Not only hates, but has a very limited understanding of what a blog can actually be. People seem to forget that io9, Joystiq, Engadget and others are merely souped up blogs. It's not just an ego contest, god damnit.

Like I said, I have no beef with for reals blogs that actually put up cool shit on the frequent. I check TCUB every day, SPRFLS like every week, and AM:pM whenever I remember it exists.

I will definitely read your blog, Solaris.

Blogs are hard to maintain, I only use Twitter.
inb4 twitter sucks more than blogs
 
I like Twitter. A few graduates from the Illustration course I'm about to start use Twitter to show off new work. I love seeing what they are doing.
 
Teen angst:

Dear blog, today I found twitter. It sucks more then you. Bla bla bla.
My super awesome friend Bob said somthing really funny today, this waiter at this, super in café right now, ask us for our orders, and Bob was like, Bogidi bogidi bo! HAHA! It's really more of an inside joke, so you had to be there. But trust me, it was REALLY funny.

I also wrote a poem.

Complex, I am. Like
Feelings, conflicting, Gay?
Daddy? Feelings Deep, into.
Sharks. Circling following my blood trail.
Always snaping. Kluck kluck
Teeth. I see him, white coat
dentist
Cavities. I have none.
 
Blogs are shit.

So is Belfast and its inhabitants.


Also your location is incorrect.

Errr. I don't write about any of that shit. I review nightclubs and bars, not my adventures inside them.
 
Blogs.

I've been protesting the 'word' ever since I first heard of it.
 
Thanks to Solaris I'm now amused by the image of Richard Nixon hitting the local pubs and nightclubs with his stumbling Irish mates, and promptly blogging about it.

Listen here, missy. Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973, but your average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only thing that's different is me; I've become bitter, and let's face it, crazy over the years. And once I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat, and I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place. Muahahaha!





That's all I think about when I think of Nixon. Thank you futurama.
 
B-logs. Bollocks.

I actually have nothing against blogs - they are good for keeping in touch with your friends, and even better for showing your talents and skills (Like Antipop).

It's the ones that have no good use to anybody reading them, and the only reason the owners made it was to say 'O yea i have MAI OWN webiste!!!1!1111' that really get on my tits.

Solaris's blog is a sort of reviewing service, and I have nothing against that. A bit of humour like, 'A 16 year old girl that fishes the head off of a beer with a spoon' is fine.

We had this exact thread about two months ago anyway.
 
I'm totally going to rant about you blog-hating jerks on my blog!

Err, I wasn't quite directing that little whine fest towards your blog in particular. I just kinda picked the general theme of yours and ran with it.
 
I thought this thread was post your bong. What a disappointment.
