I've just re-read today's SCMP article on blogging and it really lives down to everything about the SCMP. I don't want to bite the hand etc., but there's some pretty poor parts. Besides my limited remarks this morning there's plenty more that really needs looking at here. Truth is I can't really be bothered devoting too much time to it, but here's a quick go. Overall the article's first few paragraphs are just background that could have come from one of a hundred articles recently written about blogs. The "hook" of next week's party isn't bad until the third sentence: While the guests don't know each other, most know everything about each other. That just doesn't make sense - I can know plenty about someone without ever having to meet them face to face. I know way too much about Michael Jackson, for example, and I hope to God I never meet him. I think the sentence is meant to say "While they haven't met, most know everything about each other."

There's lots more, but the bus will soon be here and I'd rather go and see the family. I might have a go on Monday. It all depends if I'm in a good mood or not. And that all depends on a certain game tomorrow night. It's like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. Feel free to join in the bashing; just link back to here or add it to the comments.

UPDATE: Phil's done a much better job of it. At least he's not bitter.
