Really!? Oops...

Boy that was totally unexpected.

Maybe I shouldn't have asked it as a question. I wasn't asking whether I
should build a central meteorite blog for everyone to post lewd and
libelous statements and trash talk. Many people want their own website,
that's all I wanted to provide, and at a reasonable price. If people
can't refrain from posting negative content and comments on a blog just
to discredit some people or bad mouth others then you are right, the
meteorite industry needs no blogs.

Guess we're back to Static HTML based websites with no dynamic content,
lazy pages, and cold hard text that never changes. Woohoo! Sounds
exciting! Oh yeah, and it's about people who don't want to change. It's
all about timing. My timing is obviously off on this one.

The world is blogging and here's my prediction:

Meteorite Blogs WILL be popping up in the near future.
Nothing will be able to stop people from posting trash talk. People will
do it regardless. (Press [Delete Comment]. Ban IP... Like Duh!)
People will learn how powerful a marketing tool a blog really is.
People will realize the search engines LOVE blogs.
People will realize that blogs are websites too. lol
Everyone will have a blog!

Either way I'll admit that maybe this was a BAD IDEA or BAD TIMING! For
now...

:D lol oops...

Thanks everyone for their input. I do appreciate it. It seems people
don't want a blog.
