« Magical Autumn | My Blogging Pledge (slightly amended...) »
@ Thursday, 15. Oct, 2009 – 09:15:00
For the past week or so my inbox has been regularly bombarded with reminders about Blog Action Day and doing our bit for climate change.
Am I the only one who finds it just a bit hypocritical weird that this co-incides with large adverts for BMW all over the BCUK's home page???
Clearly a case of 'Do as I say,' not 'Do as I do' I think.

I think BCUK would have done better to look after it's loyal bloggers... which it has never really done. I've let my pro subscription lapse as a protest against the way their 'Featured Blogs' are organised... the same old blogs, day after day, some not even in English. It should have been better organised. And now blogging numbers seem to be falling - what a surprise!

To be honest , I didn't notice the ad. I seem to have developed a filter system that filters out ads. I tend to focus only on what I need. I do wonder sometimes what else I've excluded ...
As for blog action day on climate change , I can't seem to work up any enthusiasm for a ONE DAY effort . Climate change is an on going thing.
My work is more related to psycho- spiritual pollution.

I agree with you I somehow manage to filter out the ads and only see what I want to see. One is not going to be enough but with one others could follow I guess. Me I would like to filter out the crap that seems to flow from between the ears and falls out of the pie hole in thier face. Just saying

I know what you mean!

I think your attitude is a good one... there is too much psycho-spiritual pollution in the world, and who knows what damage it must be doing?
Besides, as I never tire of saying - climate change is nothing new. There is evidence of it going back thousands of years, to a time when there were no cars or airoplanes!

So everyone has this BMW then? I don't like it either. It is intrusive.

I agree, Tylluan. I can appreciate that blog.co.uk needs the advertising to fund the decreasing numbers of bloggers, but the appearance of ads was very unfortunate timing and the size was extremely intrusive.
