I actually hated blogs and bloggers for a long time, for the same reasons I don't watch TV. In its glory it became a hate&marketing fest. Most recently I realized I can use it as a tech-communication tool and started to love what I hate.

And maybe when Blogs were ruling the internet. it is an understatement, the top bloggers I knew bought houses and business based on their blogs. It was a very successful business back then!
