Oh Come Onnnnnnnn!

By mel

I’m surprised at how many people on the internet still don’t know what a blog is. Everytime I play poker online at a table full of people, I ask if anyone blogs, hoping to direct them to Diane’s and my poker blog. Everytime, the only answer I get is “What’s blog?” Not once has anyone said, sure, I blog. COME ONNNNNN !!!! What good is a poker blog if nobody in poker knows what a blog is?

LMAO TOO funny you should post about this. I was playing last night and said something about blogs and that we had one and they all said, HUH WHAT? I said Good God, you people need to get out more.

I was wondering for long time where are coming all these links from Poker websites to my blog, so I went immediately on your Poker Blog to check your blogrolls (how blunt and ego-centered from me) and solve the mystery, but nothing no resolution, mystery is not resolved.

Boris, you’re experiencing the results of poker spammers! I use the wordpress plugin Spam Karma and it keeps them away. But would you like a link from my poker blog?

From you any link is great link but do not border so ego-centered I am not and after all I can’t do anything in return I got only one blog and that’s all. No Spam Karma on iBlog which I’m using for my blog.

Yah that is strange. But then again we’re jaded because we deal with blogs all the time, they’re still not as mainstream as we’d like to think.

I have tried to explain to my family for months what a blog is, only now is it just beginning to sink in.

Great! Thanks a lot, now all I need moment of inspiration and start playing Poker with you, but look out I’m so good in it I’ll rip you off before you realize it.

Rich, I guess that’s true. I think it was just about a year ago when you urged me to get a blog and I just didnt get it

[…] I also need to get over to 2 Blind Squirrels and do a review of Poker Stars for the Poker blog Mel and I have. It’s funny though, most of the people we’ve run into at the poker sites don’t even know what blogs are as Mel just posted about. […]

LOL… ya a lot of people don’t know what a blog is… Recently somebody posted a comment on one of my posts asking me for my Delhi Office Address… as if my blog was a company site… strange.

BTW cool blog

A few of my non blogger friends are terribly impressed by the whole idea of blogging. They like to brag about me at parties and bars. They introduce me to people saying stuff like, “This is my buddy JJ. He runs a website!”

Meanwhile I’m sitting there thinking, “It’s just a fucking blog…”

mel says:

LOL! That’s too much, JJ! But I can’t relate very well, as I’m mostly chained to this computer. I gotta ask… what’s a party???? And what’s this BAR thing you speak of?
