Corporate Peon: Blogging = High School?

Blogging = High School?

Seems to me, as I ponder on this so-far sleepless night, that blogging is a lot like high school:

-- There are popular blogs, that receive hundreds of comments on each post, regardless of the topic.
-- There are sex-filled blogs, some perhaps authored by posers who may only be writing about sex because it draws attention.
-- There are blogs that don't give a fuck what any and everyone else is doing and contain solely what interests the author.
-- There are bloggers who aren't actually bloggers themselves, but comment on everyone else's blog.
-- There are bloggers who are trend-setters, and manage to spark an idea or thought that is then found echoed in numerous copy-cat blogs.
-- There are blogs that try to pander to the general public without making a statement about anything, in the hopes of winning the Mr/Ms Congeniality Award. I suspect these bloggers are ones with low self-esteem who worry that others' blogs are better (more interesting, more liked, appreciated, etc.) than their own.
-- There are blogs that no one knows exist.

I should make up my own quiz - Which Blogger Are You?
