Tech-blogging versus War-blogging

Finally read the New York Times piece on weblogging that Dave's been talking about over the past few days. I read it primarily because my friend Justin forwarded it to me because he knows I'm into blogging.

I'm not sure why this is even being talked about. Up until now I've chosen to ignore the whole issue.

I don't know what the big deal is. One of the great things about blogs is that they're fundamentally personal. Each blogger decides to talk about what interests him. Some are more focused on political topics, some are more focused on tech topics, some on religious topics, and some on themselves

There's no "rift" between techblogs, warblogs, religionblogs or navelblogs. People like to create controversy where there is none because controversy seems more interesting. One of the reasons blogs are great is because they give an individual's voice a wider reach than it would have otherwise. Let's try not to pigeon-hole ourselves.
