Blog-Clog same thing

The word blog doesnt exist in the cellphone dictionary. Typing "blog" into an SMS will result in "clog" being displayed. Try it. I find this ironic as clog is exactly what blogs will do in the long run.

As more users of the internet are drawn to blogs, we will see a proliferation of these pages. This will eventually result in some form of concerted commercial venture to access this large reader base. Inevitably, this will spawn myriad forms of advertisments and other annoyances. We will one day be receiving spam advertising mystupidideas.com and lastnightsexualescapades.com.in.

My solution to this is an online application called a "delete referendum". Let me explain my epiphany:

1. Every blog poster will need to pose a deletion quota.
2. A reader can use the delete referendum to start a motion to delete a particular blog.
3. Other readers can vote using the delete referendum/
4. If the number of votes to delete the blog reaches/exceeds the deletion quota set by the blogger.

This system will obviously only work if posters use a reasonable deletion quota (i.e are genuinely interested in the quality of their work). Well, I for one, set a deletion quota of 10 close friends or 25 acquintances. Please vote by commenting on this post.

Please dont delete me no?
