Blogging shit is too complicated in all kinds of ways. Think for a second about why we're writing here of all places. All kinds of people write insightful stuff here for no reason other than that they're bored at work or because someone is wrong. Because it's utterly simple and text-based. It's a medium of communication, not a flashy thing to create your individual brand and promote yourself as an author and blah-blah-blah. I wish people would always think about why certain places on the web become popular in such a way that they integrate themselves into peoples' lives and let them easily express their natural spontaneous creativity. HN, reddit, LiveJournal, Craigslist, mailing lists, Usenet, forums, GeoCities, IRC, BBS, etc. They all obviously focus on "content." More importantly they get out of the way and let human beings communicate without hinders.
