Blogs! I don’t know what’s wrong with these blogs today!

I have been having a discussion about the relative merits of blogs vs. wikis over the last few months.  Nothing in depth, just comments like “I don’t get what makes wikis so revolutionary.” and retorts like “Because it’s a format where people can edit each other’s text, and changes are logged and tracked and reversible.  It’s like a forum where everyone is a moderator.”

For some reason, this song leapt into my head tonight. It’s perfect!
Sung to the tune of “Kids!” from “Bye Bye Birdie.”

Blogs! I don’t know what’s wrong with these Blogs today.
Blogs! Who can understand anything they say?
Blogs, they are disobedient, disrespectful oafs.
Noisy, crazy, sloppy, lazy loafers!
And while we’re on the subject- 

Blogs! You can talk and talk till your face is blue.
Blogs! But they still do just what they want to do.
Why can’t they be like Wikis, perfect in every way?
What’s the matter with Blogs today?
