Hugo - I think it's worth pointing out some of the arguments in favour of software like BLOG ROBOT.

I suppose the naysayers and moaning minnies will be up-in-arms, as usual. They will clamour that software like BLOG ROBOT robs blogging of creativity and of individuality. Some will even claim that the essence of the blog is the personal platform it provides for airing views and sharing one's life experiences. For the sake of argument, let us say that we concede these things in theory. For me, however, this is all besides the point.

What's important is the coming digital revolution. Internet penetration is empowering people all over the world to think and communicate in new ways. It's creating a flat world (although not in the same sense as I meant in an earlier post). A world, however, in which not all of us have the time, inclination, technical ability, or, in some cases, the financial wherewithal to blog. That's where I think BLOG ROBOT comes in. Easy-to-use, blog writing software will make blogging accessible to anyone. Standardised content will cut down on the need to read blogs, eventually eliminating not only the need for bloggers to write, but also for others to read the stuff themselves. (This last point has got to be an advantage in developing countries, where computers may be difficult to come by.)

I feel strongly that we should support BLOG ROBOT - whatever our personal feelings towards WR:TW may be.

And to think... We'll be able to say in years to come, "you saw it first on GFC."

I also believe this significantly improves our chances of getting an audition for the upcoming "I'm a Celebrity Blogger, get me out of here".
