Next Blog >>



Interwebs procrastination has once again yielded a lucrative path to further interwebs procrastination.  And it was right here in front of us all the time!

See up there... right up the top... the little 'link' saying 'Next Blog'?  I just read about it on my 'Blogger Dashboard' when I was trying to find out what 'Blogger Buzz' was, and now I want to share what I've learnt with you. 

Apparently, if you click on it, it will take you to a random blog selected not so randomly.  Somehow, 'it' knows how to find blogs 'just like this one' and perhaps more importantly, in the same language (because we all know how much of an inconvenience it is that the internet is so multilingual). 

That is the news.  What follows is the editorial.

Two clicks. 

First one: a german teenager called Nikki Something who took photos of her hair in front of her bedside lamp and commented that if she had her wish, it would be curly.  She also wants to travel this year. 

Second one: somebody touting herself as an artist who 'posts her daily thoughts and inspirations' on her blog.

I feel in desperate need of a rebrand.
