Another post got me thinking about how to categorize the different types of information which go out in a blog, or which people seek from a blog. Since I have five fingers on my left hand I figured that was a reasonable limit. Looking to the left I notice that I have a couple of dozen categories. I'll have to do something about that. Anyway, after careful consideration consisting of walking my dog around the block here they are.
1) Provocative - stimulating thought, ideas or discussion.
2) Useful - things which are useful either in solving an immediate or future problem.
3) Edible - I'm amazed at the number of food blogs.
4) Funny - goes without saying.
5) Sexy - both the human and inanimate types of lust, desire or dreams. Includes gadgets and shoes.
Unfortunately I do not have a sixth finger or I'd use it to add:
6) Ranting - coherent or incoherent babbling and random abuse.
You could make the argument that rants can fall into category 1 as anti-examples (which is as intended) or category 4 if that stuff entertains you.
Did I get these categories right? Should I add, delete or modify any of them? Where does this post fall in the taxonomy F, E, S, U, P ?
