Are blogs just another flavor of the month(s)?

I think the fact that I need to really think hard to remember when TGPs surfaced is one of main problems here.

It's been so long ago and really nothing changed since then. We take new tools like blogs and turn them into TGP clones. Worse yet we turned them into pic post clones. It's hard to think of anything new when all you need to do is put up some tits and asses. What else can we do then put pics and vids and occasional story?

Since I'm hardly an expert on Web 2.0 I tend to look at all this more as a surfer then a webmaster. I'm not even sure all these new trends are for real. Only thing I'm sure of is that I really enjoy all free quality mainstream sites that I've mentioned in my previous post.

Dareutwo, please rip my posts apart whenever you feel like it. I enjoy good discussion!

If you want really successful adult blog, there is a lot of hard work ahead.

One problem, for male bloggers specifically, is that our target audience is mostly men.

Female bloggers can charm male readers into daily visits, and can talk about a whole lot of things: their innermost feelings, what they did with their bfs last night, what shoes they want for christmas, etc. Male bloggers don't have that inclination or the luxury, unless we're running a gay blog.

It just hit me though - you can always lie! Finally I can be a woman!

Hmm what do you consider a splog? Is it a copied blog? When you say the quality blogs will last what do you consider a quality blog? My blog posts are true tidbits about my life, boring to most I am sure. I hate to think I am wasting my time. Well even if I am, I will keep at it, having to much fun doing it

Basicly, I consider it a splog if it has no redeeming value or contains all sales text.

Blogs like yours are great because while your still selling porn, there is some added value...a slice of your life.

I consider it a blog if it has a value beyond that of trying to simply sell porn.
