Better than Blog that Knows Nothing

I stumbled on a site called MeStew today. It had it's share of celeb popularity speculation and related polls. The thing that I found disquieting was the number of entries that admitted first off that the writer knew no details about a topic they were then spewing about. The specific reference I think had to do with Harry Potter and the film opening line frenzy. The site is a two author stop on the way to nothing, and like the show about nothing, it seems to have enough of a buzz to garner advertising.

This seems to cast the world-class newspaper model on its ear. Maybe that is what is so disturbing to me. that Advertisers will allow their ads to populate a page of cyberspace where nothing of substance need be said. I hope I say things of some lasting value. Perhaps MeStew does over time as well. It is yet to be seen.
