But, does it really have any value? I'm just amazed at all the stuff I consider complete carp that people read with gusto. Where do they get the time? And, why does it seem social networks are busier during business hours? I think, the vast majority consider the Internet a toy. I have always considered it a tool. Too bad for me. I just can't get my head around what the masses respond to.

It's true that many bloggers are hacks, or at best offer plain-vanilla content. But it was bloggers (not mainstream journalists) who first started raising red flags about the (then) imminent financial and economic crises. Mainstream media served the public very poorly, IMO. Now they're all over the crisis, but where were the warnings when people needed them? Some are really plugged in to their area of expertise - offering insights that were never available to ordinary people before. --- For "Words of Wrath" you'll have lots of competition. They're almost everywhere these days... and free, too -g- Jim
