The web is filled with bloggers who believe the blow-by-blow account of their mundane life is interesting. They go on pointlessly without a certain point to make. Honestly, only the friends and stalkers of that particular blogger can stomach such entries.
Slightly better than the above mentioned are bloggers who digress. They first talk about the main point of the entry, then for some reason they give extra details at certain parts of the entry. Thereafter, they feel the need to give additional details on the extra details. Needless to say, the result is a huge digression, which causes readers to ponder what the hell the author is trying to say.
In my opinion, only kids should be excused from these mistakes of excess talk and disordered babbling. They are still learning the societal norms of conversation.
If you think that I’m harsh on people guilty of these excesses, I’m merely stating a fact. If you want to be understood, blog coherently. If you want to be listened to, cut out irrelevant details. After all the main, yet subconscious, reason of blogging is to be understood.
Would it be too late to mention that I’m guilty of babbling at times? Hey, no one’s perfect.

Hi,
I see that you are also monetizing your blog using adsense like I do. I just found a similar service but with audio ads and also pays for every visitor as opposed to every click. This looks like a good oppurtunity and is open till the 1st of Mar 2008. So if you would like to cash in, pl check Monetize your Blog
Hi playah, thanks for the opportunity. I will take a look before the due date.
Keep your entries going. I will check back periodically. 🙂
I’m a guilty babbler. I do it, because I hope years from now I can look back and say hey that was a really good day, or that one really sucked. I do it more out of personal satisfaction and to keep my memories of a day alive.
Your entries are coherent and interesting. The details you give aren’t excessive. It doesn’t constitute as babbling in my opinion.
Talking about looking back, I occasionally read my older blogs and find the contrast in thinking from now and then. It’s about leaving a mark on this world, even when we are forced to leave. 🙂
