Blogosphere as usual has been hectic. New blogs are pouring elephants and whales. Wannabe bloggers are churning out pages by the thousands. Ranging from alpha to omega the topics are as many as the number of stars in the sky. The number of domains that get registered every day is staggering and more eye popping is the fact that a major chunk of them are nothing but blogs.
Everyone is a technical expert, a high ranking developer, an expert on cars, gadget freak, a political analyst, historian, style guru, messiah of the masses, Steven Spielberg in the making and pray what not. Its as easy as walking on a cake writing an article about why the congress won and how charming Rahul Gandhi looked in the process. Articles are usually lifted, stolen, raped, copied, rewritten 95% of the time to fill in the blogs.
Thanks to wordpress installing a blog ain’t the stuff of legends that made coding look sexy. Some are successful in that they are useful, entertaining and informative. Then the rest of them are as stupid as Dileep doing a Mohanlal act. So what exactly is my point? Well keep blogging if it is good it will be read and you will be a blog star, else you go down the drainage, as simple as that. Happy blogging folks!!!
I disagree. . . I think blogging is about self satifaction. . . .not about success or the drainage.

I would like to disagree to the some of the views expressed by the author ,as @TheAnand told in his comment it is something which gives you self satisfaction ,regarding the freshness of the articles he may be right only few like googlelabs,mozila or for that matters the developers can only claim their article to be fresh(not “lifted, stolen, raped, copied, rewritten”).According to me such “lifted, stolen, raped, copied, rewritten” helps in better penetration of the the new technologies to the masses.

“then the rest of them are as stupid as Dileep doing a Mohanlal act.”
I have seen Dileep doing in his own style in movies like Chantupottu and numerous other movies. Like are all bloggers too!
They think,they write,they blog 4 their satisfaction!
How they gets satisfied?
It depends! For me I gets it, when i see a couple of healthy comments and discussions forming around the article.
