Blog Software Smackdown

An anonymous reader writes "With published numbers saying there are approximately 70,000 new blogs being created each day, and the total number of blogs doubling every 5 months, it's no wonder that everyone and their dog is wondering whether to setup their own blog for a chance at fame, or perhaps a book publishing deal. The question then becomes: What software should you use? SitePoint has just published The Blog Software Smackdown which takes a look at Movable Type, WordPress, and Textpattern. Pick one, and take your stab at fame or notoriety."

    im really tired of this blogging fad. there are so many blogs now, that everyone is so busy writing their blog that noone has time to -read- any of them. it seems like everyone now has something so fantastically important to say that they need to have their own site to put it online for the world to behold. give me a break. noone cares what emo cds you bought today.

    im glad that google exists, because on the rare cases that someones blog has worth reading information you can sift it out, however, in case you didn't know, google has some evil shit going on that people need to really start paying attention to. anyway, as a quick recap to my opinion -- if you were thinking about starting a blog - dont - noone cares what you have to say. (and yes, before you trolls start coming for me, that includes this message as well.)
