Lets face it people, Blogs are taking over the world. Over the past few years millions of blogs have been created; private ones, funny ones, cynical ones, musical ones, creative ones, pointless ones, lame ones,  and a few have become essential to our lives (yes, that is how lazy we’ve become). Pretty Much Amazing presents The Seven-Blog Bible: The Blogs That Can Save Your Life. This is the first of the eight-part series to bring you the Seven-Blog Bible. Hype it up!

The Seven Blog Bible: The Blogs That Can Save Your Life Presents: Boing Boing uncategorized
Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things:

Remember when you first stumbled upon Boing Boing, remember looking confused as you read “A Directory of Wonderful Things” and thinking, wtf is that. I do. Of course, all of us know exactly what a directory of wonderful things is now, thanks to the creators of this, erm, blog. Boing Boing has been critized and undergone much scruitny by “blog reviewers” because of its “incapability to produce original content”. This, my friends, is what I like to call bulls***. Boing Boing is driven mostly by user link suggestions. Understand that Boing Boing is read by hundreds of thousands of readers daily; to even fathom the amount of suggestions the owners go through every day to create what we all recognize as Boing Boing is almost scary. Think of Boing Boing like a social networking site of sorts, much like Digg, or Del.icio.us, but the guys who run the joint actually go through each source link and make the content look like their own. Boing Boing is your guide to nonsensical knick-knacks and oddball news. That comes in handy in the life-long venture of saving your life.

Stay tuned for the occasional update on The Seven-Blog Bible: The Blogs That Can Save Your Life series.

I totally agree, this blog may seem to just be random clusters of posts, but no one really thinks about all the trouble the creators go through, and how helpful it cam be!

Great blog, and great series you’ve started here! I didnt expect this to pop up on Pretty Much Amazing, I’ll tell you that much.
