3 Blogger Types We Love To Hate
There’s something about blogging that drives people mad. With the prominence of these 3 blogger types we love to hate, no wonder blogs have such a bad name and struggle to be taken seriously!
The Bitch
This blogger is hated – and loved – for his confrontational nature. Forget political correctness: if there’s a provocative way of calling it, he will. A bitch blog is an irresistible read. After all, there’s nothing surfers love more than flame wars and mud-slinging matches.
The resounding success of the bitches has spawned a new breed: the provocative commentators. There’s some crazy cow in Singapore who does this. I’m assuming he’s bright, being an NUS undergraduate and all, and it’s unfortunate he has to turn to this crass method to draw attention to his blog. With no worthy content of his own, his strategy to grow traffic is to go around others’ blog leaving the most – there just isn’t another word for it – ——-up comments possible. The ensuing war spikes his traffic upwards momentarily. Hooray, says that loser.
But while stepping on people’s toes has been proven as a sure-as-hell way of propelling to the top of the blogosphere, it does little for your social life, attracts the occasional lawsuit, and sets you up as a target of scorn. Then again, who needs friends when you could be a famous blog bitch?

The Bimbos
Physical beauty is fleeting, and these bloggers are eager to flaunt their faces and bodies every chance they get!
Nothing irks me more than visiting a blog absolutely void of any sign of intelligent life. Add gaudy design and annoying background music that is impossible to switch off, and we have a recipe for disaster.
Or do we?
Despite having IQs smaller than their waist sizes – in inches – these lookers boast web traffic we can only drool over. And why shouldn’t they? With a million racy self-taken photos per post, these model-wannabes are giving Hugh Hefner a run for his money.
And with the economy taking a turn for the worse, more are going to turn to these free sensory perk-me-ups than fork out a bundle for the latest Playboy, FHM or Maxim. Hell, the blogs show more skin anyway!

The Sexual Predator
No, we’re not talking about dirty old men luring under-aged school girls with offers of a quick buck though IRC/ICQ. That’s so yesterday.
We’re talking about bloggers who lure dirty old men to their blogs with offers of sex and scandals featuring under-aged school girls (and the occasional celebrities) to earn a quick buck from internet ads!
You know this blogger type: every other post is tagged ’sex scandal’, ‘Edison Chen’, ‘Tammy’, or ‘exposed sex video’. The sex trade is one of the world’s oldest professions, and it has taken on a 21st century twist!

Come to think of it, this post could easily be renamed “How to get lots of hits for your blog”, or “Tips to make money from your blog with minimal effort!” And that disturbs me thoroughly. What has become of our society?
