Blogging and Googling!

From the Daily Mail Columnist..Keith Waterhouse....

"Blogging

While sulking at Tony having copyrighted the phrase "the Google generation" when his back was turned, "Dave" Cameron nevertheless remains enthusiastic about the benefits that googling may bring him.

He should beware.

Seasoned googlers, of whom there is already a vast tribe, are nerds, anoraks and braces-wearers of the worst sort who spend every working moment searching the infernal engine for other people's blogs.

They are descended from a generation of titterers, pranksters and spokespersons of the bleeding obvious who in a more primitive era used to fool around with the office photocopier, circulating allegedly humorous material ("In these days of equal rights, why is Manchester not known as Personchester") faxed or posted to them by fellow-nerds who in turn had painfully copied the stuff from a parish magazine.

The world is now their oyster - or their lobster as they would say, stealing the joke without acknowledgment.

They never acknowledge original authorship, believing as they do that googling has outmoded the law of copyright.

Googlers and bloggers do not have an original thought between them. Their ruminations on tax reform, Europe, immigration, Iraq, security, education and the rest have already been googled ten times over by fellow bloggers copying their source material from some other blogger's googling diatribe to the local newspaper.

Hopefully, they will google themselves out of steam, replacing their hobby with games of draughts or snakes and ladders.

Meanwhile, what does the Leader of the Opposition think waste-paper baskets are for"
