● I quite like the final take on this matter; it emphasize a side of the often criticised web2.0 not that often underlined: the recommandation principle where you trust your friend.
Do we get the blogs we deserve? We vote by click, after all. Perhaps we shouldnt look at all those top 10 lists and Britney Spears photos. Successful blogs, such as Zen Habits, tend to balance the more fast-food type posts with longer, more complex ideas that will presumably keep readers coming back—although there are plenty of people who make a living posting dubious crap. Perhaps the escape route out of a hit-driven blogosphere is all of our newfound “friends.” The Internet has always been very good at counting page views but not so great at assigning value to whats actually in those pages. Facebook, FriendFeed, StumbleUpon, and the sharing feature of Google Reader have their annoying, nudgy aspects, but they allow us to rely on one another to sort out what is interesting and worthy. Put it on a T-shirt: Friends Dont Let Friends Read Bad Content.
