I Can Has CNN

I don't know why, but since I started blogging few months back, the most popular blog on Wordpress has been "I Can Has Cheezburger". When I started blogging, I thought it's just an anomaly. But, surprises of surprises, it turned out to be the No. 1 blog of all time.

I once decided to check it out. All I could see was photos of cats with some innovative clips thrown in. Now why did that make it to the top of the blogs? I don't know. Neither do I understand felines nor do I understand human beings.

So, given this background, can you imagine my surprise at seeing CNN's Political Ticker as the Top Wordpress Blog? It is a welcome change! Are homo sapiens finally giving way to grammar and meaning?!

I can't has this meaning!

    I think it has to do with the fact that almost every sec­ond blog was start­ing to post cheesy pho­to­shopped pic­tures with cap­tions using the by now cliched “Teh Intrnt grmr” and link­ing back to the orig­i­nal pandora’s box that started this pesti­len­tial trend

    Duh! I sorta, u know, get it now! (A failed attempt to use the new lan­guage). Pandora’s box — he he he!

    The most pop­u­lar blogs are often not the best blogs, not always. A way to check this is the most pop­u­lar posts. Half of them are not good…
    Remem­ber the world wide web audi­ence is very dif­fer­ent from our Indian web audi­ence. The Indi­ans who own a pc and have reg­u­lar access to the inter­net are mostly edu­cated, but in coun­tries like the U.S. and oth­ers, the world wide web audi­ence is more a cor­rect rep­re­sen­ta­tive of their pop­u­la­tion. A country’s pop­u­la­tion is a mixed one, in any coun­try. Also there are far more blogs in those countries…some of the blogs are really stu­pid. Just because a per­son can write Eng­lish does not mean he writes any sense…
    Right now in India the major­ity of those who read blogs are either the elite or the col­lege edu­cated. It makes a big difference…but I guess this will change in the future.

    You’re right, Nita. I’m some­how glad that CNN Polit­i­cal Ticker is show­ing up as the most pop­u­lar blog at present! Restores my faith in human­ity, sort of! ;-)

    Very glad to hear some­thing with at least an ounce of intel­lect has dis­placed that stu­pid cat pic site. But I’m a gram­mar geek, so any site with gram­mar as atro­cious as “the site which must not be named” is going to get two thumbs down in my book!
