Blogging for sex
Conde Nast and CondeNet have finally gone blog. I didn’t get very far in that crusade when I was there. Maybe it was me. But now, clearly, if Conde’s doing it, that means you’re nobody if you’re not blogging. Can Graydon be far behind? Anna?
BloggersBlog features a Glamour dating blog, See Alyssa Date, in which she promises to tell us the intimate details of her nights out with her guys and then follow the advice of readers in polls (should she “jump” him?). That sounds tantalizing, perhaps, until you watch her video. That voice. Anyway, imagine the guys waking up to read a review of their performance and a poll about them.
But meanwhile, over at Jane, we have the saga of Sarah on her “quest to lose her virginity before her 30th birthday.” And there, the men send in their reviews of her.
Well, if blogging turns out to be a way to get laid, everybody will be doing it.

“…if blogging turns out to be a way to get laid, everybody will be doing it.”
If it is, it’s news to me, and I’ve been cluttering up the Web for more than ten years.

Gee, isn’t it nice to know that Conde Nast, a supposedly reputable company, has to rely on the nudge-nudge-wink-wink factor to get its blogs noticed?
Like we really need more of this.
oh, and a little advice: girls lie, too.

I am not even a real blogger but have blogtrotted for months now and can add something to the discourse on whether one can get laid through blogging. Last time I was inside a woman it was the Statue of Liberty.
