I agree that with a blog people will generally put in more time and care, and that you can get a good feel for whether a blogger's opinions are relevant for you by browsing through their archives.<BR/><BR/>That's why I like food blogs best :)clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271464994614942315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-37340933602032027022007-10-16T14:13:00.000+10:002007-10-16T14:13:00.000+10:00Thanks for that post - v.thought provoking.

I admit I have mixed feelings though. <BR/><BR/>I'm a fan of ChowHound forums and of TripAdvisor(where I have added a few detailed pages on the food scene). But over time I have come to realise that in terms of restaurant recommendations, the scope of what people believe is good, is vast and unreliable. <BR/><BR/>What you appear to end up with is a confusing and contradictory melange of opinions, some of it informed but also there's bitchy ignorant muck, some obviously interfered with by trolls...and in the case of MyRestaurants often just a place to make public grievances about a venue.<BR/><BR/>I find blogs more reliable as a Blogger's commitment, taste and depth of knowledge can be proven by reading their archives.<BR/><BR/>I shall watch and see, I suppose only time will tell. Hope I'm proved wrong.stickyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861830835308131738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609138731901019917.post-34086993637988784892007-10-15T10:56:00.000+10:002007-10-15T10:56:00.000+10:00Lots of potential to this.
