I recently signed up for that blogexplosion thingy that everyone is talking about. It's a cool concept and I'm sure that if they approve my account It'll probably help generate me a whole heap more traffic, but it has bought one especially horrible realisation in out of the cold. There are a whole heap of crap blogs out there. Not because of the content, but because of the awful writing styles of people (hell… I could be one of them!). It really does my head in spending 30 seconds staring at a blog with all of the characters alternating between UpPeR aNd LoWeR cAsE lIkE tHiS or a blog where wordz are ended in Z's instead of S's!

Then there are those whose websites are so utterly dull they're hardly worth reading. Can you believe there are people out there that write about their weekly visit to church (EVERY WEEK!) and not a lot else. The there are the teeny girls going on and on and on about how nobody understands them and how the boy they fancy doesn't know who they are. *yawn*.

The blogosphere is seriously overloaded with crap and I think perhaps some official body should be setup to control the growth of blogs and organise cullings of blogs that haven't been updated for more than a month or written using L33T speak or either of the offences mentioned above. Then again… I'm hardly a huge contributor myself, so I'd probably be one of the first to get the boot.

That's given me an idea. Big Blogger, an online gameshow where ten bloggers compete to get the most traffic to their blogs at the end of each week, the blogger with the least amount of traffic gets booted from the game and the one left and the end of 10 weeks wins a mega brill super prize! Could be fun!
