Blogs of Note

Well, here we go again. To start off with, I'd like to write a little note about some of the blog surfers out there. These nifty little websites allow you to surf through other peoples blogs and for every so many blogs you view, your site gets a viewing. Here's a quick review of the four that I've actually used.

First off, all of these work the same way. A website comes up. A counter runs from 20-30 seconds. And then you can click on an image or number or color or whatever and be moved to the next blog.

The first blog surfer

Blog Explosion is the first one that came out. Which is why it probably has the most features. This one uses the pick a number variation. Which is one of its biggest downfalls. It's like trying to read those scrambled letter boxes when verifing a new email account. Another large complaint is that they force you to assign at least 75% of your view-credits automatically. This stops people from saving them up until they actually write something worth reading (as is often the case for our site). For the most part though, this is a pretty good one. They've just recently added some new features that were definately for the best and they plan on adding more features yet.


The second blog surfer - slightly better then the first

Blog Clicker is slightly newer then B.E. I don't think it's actually the second one, but it is the second one to take off big. B.C. uses a much more user friendly picture icon system. They are a very easy to navigate site and this is my personal preference. There big downfall is that they allow comercial site to use there service as well. But I believe they recently added something so that you wouldn't have to see those. They too are constantly updating and adding new features.


The third blog surfer - a clunky pile of shit

Blog Crowd outright sucks. For several reasons. For one, they allow blogs of any language on their site. That means that you get to spend hours flipping through shit your can't even read. Also, there whole site is clumsy and their customer service is as bad as all of their sister sites. They do have a few good things though. First they give you 250 view-credits just for signing up. That's an automatic 250 views for doing absolutly nothing. Second, your credits are spaced out over time so you'll get maybe 12-20 veiws a day instead of a flood like B.E. does. And finally, this is the only site whose counter only clicks if you actually looking at the page. If you put it in the background, it stops ticking. So people actually have to look at your site for 20 seconds before they hit next.

and finally...


Something I found floating in the toilet

BlogAzoo. This takes the cake for the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen. It has no good points. To sign up, you have to agree to let them spam you and also agree to never ever spam them. There site is down half the time. Trying to post a comment on someone's blog, will likely fuck it up. And they have the absolute worst view to view-credit ratio at 8 to1. This site isn't even worth pissing on.

okay... and now for the blogs of note...

Non-Girlfriend ~ A humorous female rant site. I can never tell if its about her personal life or just the acid I took this morning.

Home Detention Lady ~ Proudly putting the "ho" in home detention since 2002. Another female rant site, cept this one is an aspiring S.N.L. writer.

Human Writes ~ This is an excellent rant site. The guy writes just like I do except he posts more often. Expect to read about shit, vomit, sex, and stupid people on a daily basis.

Dataste Tasty Blog ~ All about the tits and ass. 99% of this site is blondes, boobs, and other similar things. Even a picture of two frogs fucking. Doesn't get much better for the hard up male.
Why Television Sucks ~ A pretty good rant site from a Los Angelos dyke. Regular rants about network television stupidity.

Pantyhose Musings ~ The fourth female rant site this time. Her "What My Mother Never Knew" rants have been entertaining my for the last few weeks.

Dead Guy ~ This is a comic strip done weekly on a blog. Pokes a lot of fun at stupid people. My personal favorite... overzealous christians.

A Day in the Life of Paris Hilton's Vagina ~ I've seen blogs from a lot of different perspectives. This one was a new one to me. I hope her vagina keeps writing.

Smorgs For The Bored ~ Truthfully, this blog sucks. It's not really worth looking at. I just put it on here cuz I couldn't find anything better tonite and I wanted to have ten blogs and this one was covered with tits.

ah fuck it... after searching for about two hours on three different searchers i have yet to find anything worth reading. So heres number ten.

Despair, Inc. ~ Its not a blog. But I stole all of the pictures off from the site. Edited them in Adobe Photoshop and made my own screen saver using Webshots. This is one of the best demotavational sites I have ever seen. I just figured since I stole something from them that they are charging money for, I'd send a few people there way. Cuz I'm a swell guy.

Anyways. Thats it for this blogs of note. A few people linked us between the last one and this one but they've all since taken there links down. Dirty whores.
