Blogger and an Unrelated Peeve

Blogger continues to roll out new features to celebrate its anniversary. You can keep up with the goings-on via Blogger Buzz. Recently, they've added Jump Cuts, Events Invite, and an iPhone app, among other things, with more to come. While none of these 3 interests me, it's fun seeing what new toys they've created for us to play with.

One thing that's really starting to bug me is the standard blogging practice of posting links. As far as it goes, it's cool. And when I'm on a link blog, that's all I need. The link. So when there's some commentary to go with it, that's great. But I follow those blogs because I'm looking for links, usually fun ones. But when I read a blog of commentary and/or opinions, reminiscing, information, etc., I expect more than just links. Sure, share the link or video, but tell me what they are and what you think of them. I can find links and videos on my own. Give me something more. Give me a reason to pay attention to them. Why did they stand out for you that you wanted to share them?
