Default Why is it bloggers?

We live in an digital age,

video on demand,

digital downloads,

electricity at the touch of a button.

news 24/7

yet ask for Wimbledon results, via msn, and you get a blog

why do i want to read 3 pages of someones interpretation on how the game is going??

All i want is the current score!!!!! FFS

anyone else find blogging pointless??

Complaining about someones drivel posted on t'internet by posting on the internet is either a) ironic genius or b) massive hipocrosy.

Ok answer it another way.....


you have a £100 pound bet riding on the outcome.... (i dont btw)


do you want to read 3 pages of **** rambling, about every nuance of the

game, or do you want to know the current score?

Should have used google.

You can spell wimbledon, add a .org to the end, and you're in business!

I was on a small boat in the sulu sea earlier in the year surrounded by a bunch of pretentious ****** who were taking a year out to travel.

I turned to take some photos of Hawksbill turtles mating in the water and caught sight of two dolphins following the boat. One of those moments where I didn't know which of the two things to try and get a shot of. I pointed the dolphins out to the lad driving the boat who swung the boat around hard and cut the engines to let everyone get a look. There was an exitiable english bint on board who in a hysterical voice yelled, I cant wait to get to the next island so I can blog this, I have to have this on my blog.

We were en-route to a tiny island which had its electricity supply from a generator and this bint thought she would have access to the internet. I wonder why people think aspects of thier life would be so interesting that others, probably strangers would wish to read about thier life experiences on the web.

Er... you could get the Wimbledon scores in about 30 seconds from a myriad of different places on the net.

After all we live in a digital age

Complaining for complaining's sake IMO!

But the BBCs live scores were wrong for most of the match. they had Roddick 1-0 up in set 2 when it was Murray who had won the first game. Data probably being input by someone in India who has no interest in Tennis. Who can you trust?
