Idiots with cameras

by

Blogging gave everyone with access to a computer the chance to express their opinion. Some people chose to use this newfound power to record every mundane detail of their lives in excruciating detail. With the rise of online video, this trend has reared its ugly head again.

I’ll give Justin.tv the benefit of the doubt, as he started the trend and is a young guy who delights in giving the Today Show a hard time. But when perpetual blowhard and ubernerd Robert Scoble decides I should watch every minute of every day of his life…that’s when I get off the train. But wait….he just decided to get off the train himself Oh, these A-List bloggers…so fickle!
