I am now trying to analyse what makes a popular blog…. and then hopefully copy what they do to make this blog popular. it’s the way to success isn’t it? to model what the ‘successful’ do?

So lets see….. from my previous entry…. i found that huffington post is sooper dooper popular. right, so apparently politicians are cool. need plenty of them on the front page.

Arnuld, he's a politician too didn't you know?

gossip is popular.. as we can see from http://www.tmz.com/
it’s just a site which talks crap about celebrities. i can see stuff mainly about tiger and his mistresses, including pics (words are probably too sophisticated for many of their readers). anyway, quoting TMZ.. “and judging by her hair, skin color and liberal use of the tongue, she definitely seems to be Tiger’s type.”
hmmmmmm…….. i wonder if they’d have mentioned skin colour if he was a white guy? i highly doubt it.
ok, lesson learned. for a popular blog, we need plenty of trash including a dose of racism as well – but scripted in a really cowardly way, of course.

We're too lazy to write an article on mating Pandas so here's a picture

next we have http://www.perezhilton.com/
my first reaction is this “my god….. what a load of trash! who the hell is this perez loser anyway? it’s almost as though he changed his name to make it sound similar to paris hilton.”
i just went back to the site and read some more. i have changed my mind somewhat. it does contain some material of substance. i like the “Pandas Needed To Mate!” article. indeed, a popular blog should definitely contain an article about the mating habits of pandas.

there are a many “high tech” blogs which talk about iPhones and google Phones and crap. such as http://www.engadget.com/
this isn’t really high tech at all. any idiot can use these devices. but anyway, we need to keep the modern tech geek (who has no techical knowledge) happy. so yes, a popular blog needs to discuss the latest (h)iTech gadgets.

looking at BOINGBOING.com now. can’t really figure out what it’s about. “Papercraft Theo Jansen walker”???

i see a who bunch of various crap blogs which are sooper dooper popular. i am compelled to close the browser the moment i open them!! i have just realised, i don’t want a popular blog! i’m outta here! that’s all folks!!! (at least, for tonight!)

huffington post readers love to gaze at pollys

well i have been looking around the net. seeing which blogs are the most popular. i viewed the top 100 on technorati and saw the the most popular “blog” is actually www.huffingtonpost.com

it’s just a news website, i wouldn’t call it a proper blog. not only is it just a news website, it’s a pretty BORING one at that! For example the front page is just pictures of politicians!

Anyway, i should stop bitching about things and see whether i can write something interesting.  ”bitching and complaining” category is going to be a popular one for me
