here do I start with my reaction?

    Well, first I must say I agree with you. As I have explored around many corners, yes the "selfish community" is prevalent. Most of my activity has been exploration and experimentation in testing to what, and how mindsay users react to different things. The overall results have not been flattering to either bloggers or humans.

    From a sociological perspective most people are followers. I believe they come here looking for a secure niche, find it, and stay there defending it. There are a small number of truly interested people who I see visiting everywhere. They are usually helpful, sincere and non-confrontational.

    The most amusing group are the obsessive-compulsive whom delight in having a thousand people on their friend list and even more blog entries (which are typically trite).

    There was an occasion many months back of great celebration over having had a voice-chat-get-together. All the participants were similarly gleeful in having finally heard the voices behind the blogs of their great, dear friends. This spectacle made transparent to me how weak the sincere human connection so commonly expressed is.

    Without a doubt the wisest and most productive bloggers are those who take the time to research the tools available to them and make the most of the technology. I have made note of your presense long ago. People like yourself and CallMeRodger are very savy users with an educated understanding of blogging as a social and business tool.

    Finally, my overall impression of mindsay it that it is a mess. It is a convoluted mishmash of mostly mindless rambling and randomness. Top blog election is impossible in this atmosphere.
