Green Flamingobecause I said so

Not that things in the blogosphere are always “predictably irrational,” but things are predictable, and often irrational. I am just walking over to list some of the things people do in the blogosphere that may be predictable and irrational.

1. Around the end of one month and beginning of another, blogger’s have fluff posts, telling their stats, giving awards, thank yous, reselling ads, and other things that don’t really help you much.

Predictable: yes       Irrational: this one can be an opinion, but yes

2. Bloggers all over trade links, big and small, and usually will profit from them. It is not a bad thing, just common.

Predictable: yes      Irrational: no

3. On every blog, there will be spammers. There are the sex, airplane ticket, free shit spammers, and there are also the “I need traffic” spammers. The first ones are taken to jail if you have Askimet, but the second just sit there looking bad, maybe a two word comment saying “great post.” We are looking at the two word comment spam, that is what is really annoying.

Predictable: yes     Irrational: yes

4. Bloggers go for wacky prices, whether high or low, whether the buyer or seller.

Predictable: yes     Irrational: I won’t die if I say yes (as long as Mike Westen is near my house)

5. Pretty much all bloggers are geeks, because they blog! Though, celeb bloggers are not geeks, they are airheads like the people that read them.

Predictable: yes           Irrational: no

I can think of a million more predictable and irrational things that bloggers do, but I have not the time to mention them. Instead, I want you to think of your own, and then we will have more of a collection.

See you tomorrow!
