Blogebrity

Quickies: Hide me from Reader’s Digest

Blogger Buzz reports the release of CNBC’s Morning Blog, which only gives me an error message.

The top blogged news stories, says BlogPulse, are all the things you don’t discuss with strangers: politics, religion, and squid. My neighbor once ruined a perfectly good “getting to know you” dinner by condemning intersquid marriage.

Adrants: “Hmm, blogging as a perverted sex fetish. Not exactly what the blog elite and the blogebrity had in mind.” Have you read Gawker?

Reader’s Digest alerts us to the Hot New Fad. Apparently, you can make money with computers, by eBaying shoes (through your “e-enterprise”), selling your friends to a marketing agency, and…oh shit…blogging:

You realize what this means? People. Who like Reader’s Digest. And have just discovered a supplement for the pension. Are going to start blogging.
