Guru blog reaches out to the masses

Devoted disciples will know that Guru was last week made aware of a growing internet phenomenon known as ‘blogging’. His subsequent research revealed that the word ‘blog’ derives from the term ‘web log’, and refers to user-generated websites where journal-style entries are made and displayed in reverse chronological order. This appealed to Guru, as it would allow him to share his wisdom in a more immediate and interactive way.

The problem with blogging is its image. Traditionally, according to one unnamed editor, bloggers are regarded as “w*nkers in pyjamas who like to write about their cats”. Indeed, there are now thought to be 60 million blogs in existence – so that’s an awful lot of soggy nightwear and useless feline facts.
