“Blog Me? No Thanks”

The dopes over at Blog You! Blog You! Blog You! are making a lot of waves, and annoying a lot of people. Today they hit Duncan's Jotter, so they're starting to hit a little close to home (I consider Duncan a friend, and our sites are on the same server).

Don't let them get to you, Duncan. I'm no more impressed with anything they've written than they seem to be with your site.

Has anyone figured out what is the real point of their site? Do people wake up one morning and decide that they want a new weblog to read, so they go find a weblog review site to pick the best from?

It's bizarre. Seems to me that they're simply in the business of discouraging people from keeping weblogs and online journals, since they give most everyone a poor rating, but I can't imagine why.

Their goal is to review every weblog in existence. I imagine they'll consider this journal a weblog, simply because I use Conversant's weblog tool to maintain it. Anybody want to wager on how low my score will be?

This site's relatively unknown, so I'm sure it'll be awhile (although their reviews seem to come in no particular order). Hopefully they'll just get tired of the whole project and give up / go away. (After all, new weblogs are being started faster than they're reviewing them!)
