UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat Blogs, love em or hate em?

blogs - leave 'em. They dont really turn me on in the least, i got too much code to write to be a blogger.

But in fairness - I have recently seen them put to very good use in the area of Win32 development and i have a few on my favorites list. Places where some hardcore codemonkey records his or her findings, lessons learned the hard way, and other key links and feedback on experiments with new technologies and/or beta stuff. This kinda blog makes for a very useful and fast jump-start for when the release version comes out and your not up-to-snuff on the community learning curve the beta version junkies already conquered. Much quicker to scan-n-salvage tasty nuggets from a blog vs. drilling endlessly in newsgroup reader. Only downside being -no matter how serious a blog is, you inevitable have to tune out atleast 2 or 3 ugggg insights on either A)the family dog, B)the hated neighbor, or C) the dreaded exwife
