Utter nonsense, as usual. Who reads blogs other than other bloggers?
Bloggers aren't even the Samuel Pepyses of this infant cyberworld. If you
want an historical analogy, they're like the religious maniacs who published
left right and centre in the wake of the drop in censorship at the time of
the Civil War (here). Who reads them now, other than scholars? Who read
them then, even, other than other maniacs?

My money's on Lovelace. Suckling wrote better, but Lovelace got into more
anthologies.
