Blog = Dog?

Started by webomatica · 10 months ago

Always a fan of the half-baked analogy, I thought I'd muse a bit on David Carr's New York Times article describing his experiences blogging. He describes a blog as a "large yellow Labrador: friendly, fun, not all that bright, but constantly demanding your attention." ... Continue reading »

  • Great analysis! Put this in the "everything I learned about X, I learned from my dog" bucket:

    (Google Search)
  • Thanks... I tweaked your search string to get it to show up reasonably correctly.
  • That's hilarious stuff. I can't believe you made it thru the entire analogy while making sense throughout the entire thing... good job :) So many dog-related items just begging for a metaphor: boarding, leg-humping, letting them outside, keeping them off the couch--could go on forever!
  • Gee... thanks. I wish I could have worked some more stuff in there, like teaching old dogs new tricks or fetching the paper.
  • I love it! Especially the part about spam comments being fleas. I guess we could all agree that blogs equal dogs in so many ways.
  • Yeah... dogs could = many other things, I'm realizing.

    Hey... did you ever notice that "dog" spelled backwards is "god", and "blog" spelled backwards is... "golb".
  • I agree (even tho I'm late to find this entry) with the comments above - great analogy between dogs and blogs! :)

    I actually found this entry by checking around for blogs and dog owners, which surprisingly there are quite a few of online(!) - ie. I popped the website field here with the one I check out every once in a while - specifically the blog entries written by St Bernard owners, so I can see what others are saying about their own St Bernard . The internet has certainly made it much easier for people to find each other these days. NO nmeed to go to the dog parks. Just do a google search. lol

    And, there's always Catster and Dogster.

  • Interesting analogy. I especially like the point about picking up after your dog, or fixing mistakes or factual errors on your blog. Something everyone should do!
  • oh wow good post, i however miss my dog i lost him last month he caught into some cancer and couldn't get put of it. his name was rocky and he was a dalmation however his 2 kids and wife are still with us :)
  • Nice to meet you! I begin blog and make a dog-related collection of links recently.
    Your page linked, too. Would you link my page if you like? Thanking you in advance.

  • Your advice is sound. A bored, untrained dog will obliterate your home and furniture. Basic training is a must and if you dont have time to do that then you should not get one.
  • Old dogs can certainly learn new tricks, people say that when they are just to lazy to put more time into their pets and if they are bored of them :(
