So I have this meebo account from when I was still in college. The campus blocked all p2p ports so I needed an alternative chat app. (it wasn’t till later that I began using adium for this purpose)

Meebo gives it’s users the ability to embed a chat room in their blog/myspace. Being the sucker I am for silly blog tools, I made a “chat room” page on augiemania. No one has ever used it besides me for screwing around.

This got me thinking about other worthless gadgets people put on their blog. Now your miles may vary, but I don’t get much traffic on this site at all, so the idea of people using these things is sort of absurd.

I go to blogs to read, not play with your silly flickr slideshow. Just put the whole gallery on a page, I would rather see them all than like 5 of them. Also your photos suck. (mine aren’t any better)

I use Youtube a lot, so I like the idea of a multiple video player. In fact I use one on my videos page to avoid unnecessary clicks in case someone wants to see a bunch of my vids in a row.

I also used to belong to a few of those “read my blog I’ll read yours” sites, but those are stupid. BlogExplosion sucks stop being an attention whore.

Okay, now that I’ve come to my point, we can get to the good stuff.

I find that a lot of bloggers are pretty boring. I like news blogs, and “cool stuff” blogs, and some of my friends personal blogs, but 99% of blogs are pointless musings that are mostly masturbatory. (LOL irony)

I’ve been thinking about augiemania a lot lately and have decided to post more frequently. But the problem is this:

Who cares?

If I stumbled upon this blog (I prefer the term “site”) I would be bored to tears. Now I need to come up with stuff worth reading.

I have an feed that pulls in my facebook posted items which sits in the first side bar under “peep it” that I am thinking about turning into actual posts, but facebook is so retarded that their feed doesn’t work with all readers. This is something to work at. Getting that working would boost my post count from 6 a week to about 6 per day.

Also I plan on my experiences working as an editor-in-chief for dogamdponyshowwebsite.com and as a web master/participant in sicolab.org. I am hesitant to write about my actual job. On top of that, perhaps I can pull in my posts from nerdpumdit.com as well. I’ll have to ask dan about that.

I think having a focus within the site is a good thing.
