Why Googleblog doesn’t matter

A friend of mine sent me a link to the google blog and felt it was totally cool: http://www.google.com/googleblog/2004/12/polar-expression.html.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the ‘googleblog’ is pathetic? I’ve seen nothing of note there in the 6 months of its existence and it’s filled with watered down PR statements that totally misses the point of corporate blogging.

Well, it’s not just me – Carnage4Life thinks so too…
