Blogs are Boring?

Are blogs boring?

Well, certainly if you aren't interested in the topic they are, but what if you are interested in the topic?

Winecast asks this question specifically about wine blogs.

Well, I'm passionate about wine, yet I don't read wine blogs. Well, maybe once every couple of weeks I'll take a quick look, but that's it. Yeah, they're kind of boring . . . or at least not an optimal use of my limited 'online wine time.'

Yet I read about wine online everyday, primarily on wine boards like this one.

The point? There are plenty of online resources about just about anything. Blogs are not necessarily the 'best' or 'most interesting' resource for every topic for every person.

In fact you can find great information and great conversations in lots of places online (and off). For example the Mark Squires wine bulletin board has more and better conversations than any one wine blog I've ever found.

Nothing sacred about blogs. However they are a great source of info, opinions, and conversations.

Thanks to Becky McCray for sending me the link to the Winecast post.
