Blog Action Day

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-gotta-be-kidding-me dept.

aroberts writes "Today is Blog Action Day which means that lots of bloggers will be writing on one general topic for one day in an attempt to see what might be achieved through coordinated posting, and I am one of them so my humble contribution amongst the hundreds of thousands is entitled individual action is not enough. The topic for this year's blog action day is the environment." You can almost hear the sound of the vacuum created by bloggers thinking that their words matter when the people with control don't even know how to read the tubes. Lick a stamp or march- that's harder to ignore.

    This reminds me of a quote I heard on the difference between blogging and flogging
    The difference between blogging and flogging, is that flogging actually leaves an impression on people.

    Sorry. Al Gore has that space locked up. You will need to chose another topic or prepare a royalty check.

    Everyone knows he is the father of the environment as well as the internet.

    cheers

    that's why the founding fathers were waisting their time writing all those pamphlets.

    From the paintings, I seem to remember Ben Franklin having a rather big waistline.

    Wish to greet our coordinated blogging overlords! You've got it all wrong!

    Look. If you're going to propogate the meme, here's the format. Everyone, let's get coordinated here:

    I for one, welcome our new [adjective FTFS][, [additional adjective or gerund form of verb FTFS] ...], [gerund form of verb FTFS] overlords!

    So, let's try it, shall we?

    I for one, welcome our new coordinated, environmentally-conscious blogging overlords!
