Alaskan Librarian slams bloggers as ignorant

Greg Hill, a director of Fairbanks North Star Borough libraries, Alaska, has shared his views on bloggers in a piece in the local rag, the News-Miner
“The reach and power of telecommunications and computers have enabled everyone to spread evidence of their ignorance farther and faster than ever before. For proof, look at the recent emergence of blogs…Blogs focus on whatever subjects their creators care to expound upon… most are merely personal rants. When bloggers feel passionately enough about a subject, often themselves, they create and regularly update blogs… Actual knowledge is purely optional…As the old computer maxim GIGO states, “garbage in, garbage out,” and the person believing everything he reads–especially on blogs–is living dangerously indeed. ”

Should we care what a two bit librarian in backwater, Alaska, has to say about blogging? Probably not. But slam bloggers and we reserve the right to let others know of the blogphobia you hold and encourage others to share their views with you via email to greg.hill@taos.fnsb.lib.ak.us
