The State of the Blogosphere
Re Conversations with Dave
Dave directed me to State of the Blogophere which generated the following reply.
As one of my clients always used to say; "So what?"
Doubtless someone has thought about this and its implications on the grand scale. All I have is Drogan Scale.
Drogan Scale suggests that I am more aware of more stuff than before, but I don't know that I have more interesting conversations than I had before; or am engaging in more meaningful actions than before.
Perhaps the state of the blogosphere is akin to the state of open fire hydrant.

I reminded of the story that ends with; "There's a pony in here somewhere."
There is garbage in the blogosphere. We are under no obligation to review it.
There is likewise quality in the blogosphere. We are likewise under no obligation to review it.
We need, I think, to be willing to wade through the former to get to the latter. And we need, I think, to teach others to do likewise.
We can't learn discernment without seeing both sides. My wife likes to say; "You can't have the peaks without the valleys."
