The good old days…

Author: Sometimes I long for the old days before every idiot had access to the Internet. Yeah, perhaps I’m a bit elitist here – do I care if you think that – no!
Blogs for instance sound like a fantastic idea as does social networking. Culturally they offer a great opportunity – in reality they create a huge opportunity for morons to pollute the online world with meaningless drivel to hype their get rich quick schemes and scams through affiliate links.
There’s nothing wrong with trying to sell stuff over the Internet but it seems millions of fools appear to think that if they put up masses on nonsense content – filled with affiliate links to tell you how you to (when they haven’t) make a million (from a blog usually).
Just piling in links does not mean people will either read your crap, or buy the stuff you are hawking.
Cheap domains and affordable web space from the likes of Hostmonster have a lot to answer for, as do blogger and the like. I remember the days when putting a website up used to take real time, effort and commitment. It still does – though clearly many neither realize or accept it looking at their sites.
The online experience devalues it exponentially in direct correlation with the rate of growth.
Content is not king – quality is? But unfortunately quality is dying a death…
