Are blogs dumbing down the web? On a daily basis amateur bloggers battle with, and now seem to outnumber, the professionals when it comes to vying for our online reading time. But the question remains "Is this a good thing?". For the sake of today the focus will remain around the design industry but the topic can definitely be debated for the web as a whole.
Every debate has two sides and this topic is no exception. On a positive note the blog has opened up the web to anyone with an opinion to have his or her voice heard which we can all agree is a good thing. On the negative side (remember that we are talking about the design industry) simply having a page and an opinion does not an expert make.
After writing Brand Killer 2.0 the search was on for similar articles and comments on the web. It was quite easy to find articles around the web 2.0 design trend but only a small number of them actually got that web 2.0 was not an actual design trend. Or is it? Wrong or right, do the masses make it true? If enough people say it is true does that mean that it is? It certainly does to those who are using these blogs for research. People trying to learn about the industry read these blogs and assume that it must be true because everyone says so but who are these people who are writing them? Are they at the top of their industry, are they even professionals in their industry at all or are they simply repeating something they read on another blog?
In a world where everyone has a blog how do you find expert advice online? Do you trust the source? Is quantity better than quality? All of these questions really depend on what type of information you are looking for and realizing that opinions are opinions and only that.

MBT Salama Sandals
2:10 AM
These shoes are really comfortable! They're cushy?mbt sandals sale, and at the end of the day my foot and ankle is tired, but not sore. I've also noticed that the first steps in the morning aren't painful (like they used to be)?MBT Salama Sandals sale. I did have to buy a half-size bigger than I normally wear. They run small. They're also look a bit clumsy (actually, they're flat-out ugly, and look like old lady shoes), but they feel good enough that I wear them anyway?discount MBT Sapatu Sandals. Since my feet are happiest when I wear these shoes about half a day?Cheap MBT Shoes. I have another (normal) pair of shoes so I try to wear these around the house.

MBT Sapatu Sandals
2:07 AM
I got a pair of MBT Bomoas after hearing a friend rave about hers?discount mbt sandals. I ordered a half size larger than usual at the suggestion of other customers on the Zappos site, and they fit perfectly, especially with thick socks?cheap MBT Kisumu Sandals. Walking in them is great fun (lots of bounce). Standing requires a little more adaptation. They were perfect for long walks in London; smart enough for a city but comfortable for miles of walking on concrete?MBT Lami Shoes sale. I have also used them for 5-mile hikes in the woods; they probably don't have quite enough traction for trail shoes?mbt sandals, but they work all right. Good purchase!

White cheap mbt sandals- Without a doubt the most comfortable sport shoe I have ever worn. True to its advertising, you can definitely feel a difference in your leg muscles after a long walk?cheap MBT Habari Sandals. Because of the shape of the shoe, it also helps maintain my posture and alleviate some of the back pain I used to feel after walking. Even after an entire day of working around the house or running errands, you feel as though you have completed a comfortable?MBT Shoes Sale, yet painless workout. After wearing these for a couple weeks, I probably should have bought them in a half size smaller. Other than that, these MBT's are still an amazing shoe that live up to all their hype and price?discount MBT Karani Shoes.
