Attempting in the same to portray [all] of us as some teeny bopper laying on our beds with pony tails, chewing gum and boby socks as we write out..."like, he/she's to die for, I just hope he didn't mind I had braces".... I believe weblog's can fit into four primary categories: 1. Social: One who uses their weblog for such things as making friends, forming social groups, writing journals, etc. 2. Busness: One who uses their weblog to promote their product or service in trade or for revenue or as a believed civic duty. 3. Journalism: One who uses their weblog to address and discuss matters of public interest or concern. 4. Advocacy: One who uses their weblog for a cause; generally of a social justice nature and incorporates both the Journalism and Business platforms into their weblog. Unfortuantely, like so many things in our society, we tend to fixate on the perceived inferior class and flood them with demeaning remarks to somehow belittle their efforts, talents and services. Yet, as you previously pointed out in another article, corporations are seeing the marketing value weblog's hold...don't confuse this with corporate acceptance of weblog's..only a get even richer scheme at minimal costs by luring some uninformed weblogger into advertising for them at rediciously low service fees the corporation will pay the weblog publisher.
