At first glance bubbler looks like an interesting niche take on the blogging services provided by the likes of Google's Blogger and Six Apart's Typepad. However, bubbler is simply a client-based front end to a hosted blogging service; pitched as an 'advanced technology for building media-rich blogs...photographs, movies, audio, and other multimedia assets', it has no capabilities unavailable to an average Typepad or Moveable Type user.
For a long time I thought everyone should read what I write, and hang on every word. hardly anyone read my blog. I ended it, and went back to having a plain old site.
My point is that while blogging is a great technology, it has produced floods of crap all over the internet. Not everyones voice is worth having on the web.
It is awsome that some kids punk band can have a blog, and ditribute their info all over the world. But what Shelly said to Janet at their last bridge game is of little interest. Unfortunately I have to go to Shelley's blog before I find the kids punk band.
I love blogs, I just hate surfing through all the crap to find the few good ones.
Sorry mate, I screwed up and commented to the wrong post. Ment to comment on "Peter Kabel"
