Blog Awards
No. Thanks but no.
Time magazine has awarded those who create internet content its man of the year award.
Bored Yet?
Think about it.
Pornographers?
Race-hate sites?
Marketting companies?
Spam?
I dont think so.
Theswearinglady? Hutton?Jonnythetwatfromnorfolk? Spinsterella? Surly Girl? Kaz? Myboyfriendisatwat ? All deserving. But please. Take the award and post it up yer' chocolate starfish.
Who gives a shit frankly. Its good to see that the old 5th Estate is trying to bring its sad traditions and practices to the 6th estate. The old media trying to get to grips with the new, to mainstream it and control it, to own it- Time Warner / News International/ Google? Are they the next Microsoft?
While I am rambling on about control- How about the new Sony MP3 players (they have a crappy name like swoosh or something but I really cannot be arsed to find out what it is). They are obviously really good. You can download only from Sony sites- only Sony Music? You can share your music with your mates (so long as they have the same overpriced wotsit) and then they can listen to it twice before it ereases itself. Sony have a history of pulling this shit. Only their own sites/products/etc can be compatible. Different world regions so that they can hike the price in the UK and US. Learnt alot from Microsoft and the avoidance of univerasal compatability.
A pernicious corporation seeking to recoup investment in the music industry. Don't they even have a clue as to why MP3 took off- Becuase we are all heartilly sick of being ripped off by the old media firms like Sony. Do they get it?
I was going to do a piece on Obituaries and even read a dreadful book about them but could not bring the subject to life haha. Thats it for now but loads more ranting to come. New Year. New iritations.
