%xhtml-lat1; %xhtml-special; %xhtml-symbol; --> ]> InstaContent http://instacontent.blogspot.com/ The word on the street is that blogs are the new push, so this site was created to push links rather than jerry-rig some communication protocol to the task. It is updated sporadically as content is unearthed. I also like to experiment with leading-edge web standards, so please let me know if they are not degrading gracefully. If There's No Money Involved, Why Aren't Blogs More Creative? 8/07/2004 01:13:00 a.m. http://www.gapingvoid.com/Moveable_Type/archives/000876.html

I've been to this guy's site before (the about page is certainly memorable), but Alex told me about this uplifting, creative-director-speak discussion of creativity. I think it would be too saccharine if it weren't for the darkly humorous business cards, which leads me to two observations about the suckiness of the blogosphere:

  1. If it bleeds, it doesn't lead (uplifting stuff seems to get passed around more than the opposite, maybe because old media covers it well enough?).
  2. Me too comments (well, one-bit praise messages) appear to be acceptable in blogs, even though they aren't anywhere else online.
