I read a comment at k5 that actually began as a rant about the fact that backlinks are only there to bolster a lack of content but went on to profile useless blog types...
From:
k5 comment
Some particularly scathing excerpts:
Here's some of the things that suck worst:
Meta-blogs. There's already 101 mechanism for finding new weblogs and watching to see when existing ones are updated.
TV blogs. "I watched (some crap) last night,-snip-
Bathtub diary blogs. "I didn't leave my house yesterday and sat at my computer all day.-snip-
Barfly diary blogs. "Went to the club/watering hole/pub/bar last night, just like I do every night, and a drunk guy said something funny or a drunk girl did something strange."
Relationship drama queens. "My girlfriend left me an email last night saying she wasn't going to call me tonight because she had to get up early-snip-(but OMFG the rest is funny...)
Geeks. "So I downloaded the high-resolution timers patches against 2.4 kernels and the low-latency patches and applied them to the test kernel I was running on my old test machine (euripides.losernet.org).-snip-
etc. etc.
