    ...software that will allow the monitoring of blogs, wikis, news feeds, consumer review sites, newsgroups, and other community-generated content..

    Great just what I need to fill those empty hours between my wife, kids, kids activities, work, writing proposals for more work, graduate studies, my property, my animals, and my hobbies.

    I just abandon that huge waste of time I call sleep so that I can stay current on my Blog-Spotting.

    This reminds me of something...

    Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got blogs?

    Its intelligent design...

    Of course Windows could be used as the counter argument.

    Choose your life. Choose blogging. Choose a hosting service.
    Choose TypePad or WordPress or some other piss you off
    blogware. Choose to alienate several friends, cow-orkers and
    other people you think you know. Choose to navel gaze. Choose to anal-
    yse yourself almost to death. Choose an inane topic and beat
    it to death with pedantry. Choose to spout off political
    commentary like someone will actually listen. Choose to sound
    like you're someone important, just like the other self-
    important 'me-too!' fuckwads wasting bandwith right along
    with you. Choose Google Ad Sense so we know you're in it "for
    love". Choose comment flamewars lasting long into the night
    Choose blogspam. Choose wasting your life chasing after that
    elusive posting that will make you a 'journalist', pissing
    your hopes and dreams down the drain in an on-line ego trip.
    Choose your future.
    Choose blogspotting.
