When I started started reading weblogs a couple of months ago, my first thoughts were about how close-knit the community seemed. There was an amazing amount of self-referrential weblogging going on. In-jokes...posting about other weblog posts. I thought it was a good thing.

However, I'm beginning to think a lot of it is just a bunch of wanking. Why do we post the same tedious links over and over again? I'm as guilty as the next of filching a link from another weblog now and then, but surely we've had enough about what color we are, or how straight-acting? And many of us read the same weblogs, so blogging another blog seems pretty redundant, unless there is something useful to add.

Perhaps this is just me being frustrated with my surfing habits lately. I find myself visiting the same pages over and over again, hoping to find an update. Time to find some other things to do.
