Is it really bloggin?

Ok this whole blogging thing is pretty new to me. I have a myspace profile and on there you can post your blogs. Most people use it to post answers to silly '50 questions' or jokes that they want to pass on to their friends. No one really uses it for journaling or 'deep thoughts'. I have been looking through some of the blogs on this site... just sort of going to 'the next' and 'the next' to get some ideas of how different people use their sites. I have found a good portion of people use them as a journal site - some on just about any subject that comes to mind, some as a day to day accounting of funny happenings, some to track their travels through the world. But I have also seen several others, (enough for me to think what the hell) who use it to basically post regurgitated crap. Mostly just posting celebrity news with a few pics thrown in the mix. It is like they have gone to yahoo's celebrity news page and just cut and pasted... so my question is - Is this really blogging by everyone else's standards? And why would anyone take the time to do this when the whole idea of blogs seems to be to share your thoughts and feelings on a vast array of subjects? Anyone can go to Yahoo to see who is divorcing who and who has the 'pregnancy bump'... I tend to be a pretty critical person - pointing out the 'huuuu?'s' in life... maybe I should have been a critic or a columnist!

YEAHHHHH someone agrees with me! I just didnt quite get it - thought maybe I was just being critical... but it seemed silly to be reposting crap from other sites. I understand people using it for 'advertising' for their books or products but that stuff is at least author orginated! That person who owns that page is writing the words themselves... I have seen a few that were actually interesting - they are writing a book and use the site to track their progress and what they have accomplished along the way - it is a journal about the making of the book... nothing wrong with that I say...
