GOSSIP SITES VS. BLOGS....

During my daily run through of my fave sites some blogs some websites and what not. I came across something to the utmost in disturbing. GOSSIP on a blog mag site. this entry had no validity to the blog or the magazine. Now, this site has offered some there share of "whats in the news" type of entry and offered a "neutral" bias to the situation.

Personally, I believe that blogging just like most things in the America upon becoming available to everyone so easy has gone "commericial" for a lack of a better word.

Ok, so I know many people blog because of the accessibility to blogging resources which is why I wanted to pursue blogging. However, every site that is on the Internet is not a blog and that is what I want to talk about.

After I seen this horrendous entry on my once fave blog site I changed my status on FB, "contrary to popular belief there is an art form to blogging.. GOSSIP SITE ARE NOT BLOGS.... UGH!!!!!!!!!!" In turn I had comments that strongly disagree with my opinion, or my wording.

In lieu of these comments anger surfaced at the ignorance of the pureness of blogging.

Blogging is an online tool that people can use to share online there opinions about something, anything they chose. Its like an online journal of things you want to share with the world and sometimes discuss.

Now there are different types of blogs and that is where the fine line can become tricky. There are Music, Fashion, Movie, Tech, Celeb, News and How-To blogs to give information about an area or just personal opinions about how the blogger see things from their lens. Some magazines have opted to a BLOG style website because, this is the latest layout and VERY EASY. I mean with some html, css and photo shop anyone can look like they went to school in web design.

The main thing that grinds my gears its a bad look to portray yourself as a blog site and your of you material is gossip and you want to be taken seriously as a site, because you have "journalistic intentions." Or when you assume the journalistic perspective and have opinions about celebs and what they are wearing and fashion dont's. Is this all we as fellow bloggers have to look forward to?

So, when I write a blog or more that half of the "legit" blogging world post a new entry is it merely for information. Not to defame character or win opinions. But to discuss and share.

Below are the comments that began this passion for truth.


Comment-er 1 i disagree...lol

Comment-er 2 actually most gossip sites are blogs not all blogs are gossip sites tho
