Blogging is the new "Angry Letter".
As I stated theElderSon, who's sense of sarcastic humor is getting more and more refined every day, were discussing some sort of "this company did this" event. Our conversation went something along the lines of this:
So just remember, having a blog is having the ability to write an agry letter that will actually be read. Sure maybe not by companyX, but at least people will comment and you'll feel better about yourself for having bashed companyX. That reminds me, I've got sometES: Did you hear about {companyX}? They're {insert evil action}.
Me: Really? that's really bad, they shouldn't be able to do something like that.
tES: Yeah, but it's not like anyone can do anything about it.
Me: Wanna bet?
tES: {sarcastically} Yeah, we can write an angry letter.
Me: Nope, we can blog about it.
tES: Blinks, eyes open wide in mock fear and shock.

I wish that the blog would replace the angry letter. Jen, my fiance, has been on a letter writing binge since moving to Cleveland, including one to Geauga County because they don't use salt on snowy roads. I find the angry letter embarassing because it doesn't do anything, but the blog can be entertaining, if not funny.
I wonder if companies actually benefit from this in some strange way because of how things spread on the internet.
If even bad publicity is good publicity, then firing up the blogosphere must be gold!
Not that this is always true... but I do wonder...
This is true. I learn about new products, and TV shows I'd have never known about if I didn't read blogs! And you get personal experiences. Bloggers unite!
