Trends in blogging
Some trends I have begun to notice in my own blog as well as in the blogs of others is that posts seem to follow different patterns.
Posts seem to be produced in “clusters” where many are put out at once, after which the blogger seems to go into a period of recluse for some period of time, after which he or she gets an idea which “sparks” creativity and leads to another series of posts, after which the trend repeats itself. (As a good aside note, this trend can also explain why may bloggers create pages which later become abandoned dead zones that take up space on the internet proving how useless and meaningless most blogs really are.)
There are how ever some bloggers who, however, mantain a perfect consistency with their pages, some of which can provide very useful information, others that are just silly (pardon my lack of ”professionalism”).
It is safe then to conclude, based on these trends, that the only safe blogs to devote a substantial amount of time to reading are those that are both consistent and intellectual. I cite, but do not promote, that of Harvard economics professor and textbook writer Greg Mankiw, whos blog is both consistent and intellectual. Only these blogs have any truly useful information with which one look to better oneself.
