For a blog posted to or read by people on (in, part of) an e-mail tree. As is the case with an e-mail tree, most of the people in a blog tree don't know each other. But they know someone who knows someone who knows someone. . . . That may be all they have in common. Sometimes, a blog tree is characterized by an underlying theme, a common interest that most of the people in the blog tree have. Most, but not all. Rather than forward e-mails, they post anonymously to and read blogs they all know about.

Did you see where that doofus twerp who wakes up in the middle of the night all stuffed up and unable to sleep has started two blog trees? Self-indulgent bitch is a pain in the ass -- but no one's holding a gun to my head and forcing me to listen to what she has to say. Do you have the secret words for t.w.earp.«secret-word»@blogger.com that let you post to gas-prices-are-too-high.blogspot.com and all-stuffed-up-again.blogspot.com? No wonder she uses this e-mail address rather than a permanent one. All set to check out at a moment's notice -- and leave no forwarding address. Do you suppose she'll really send me the «secret-word»s if I visit her blogs and click on the mailto gizmo in the footer? And then let me post? I think I'll give it a try. What do I have to lose -- my parking privileges? |
Hard-core bacn addicts and e-mail forwarders manage to get themselves put on notification lists (either RSS feeds or something similar) so they can get their e-mail fixes. The ones next to the root of a blog tree get notified directly with robotic e-mails from blogs. They're like the first tier of a chain letter or Ponzi scheme: They get theirs before anyone else does. That's the beauty of multi-level marketing companies like Amway. Did you know that one of its founders owns the Orlando Magic? Wonder if he pals around with the big boys? Nah, he's probably too old for that. Damned rich, though. |
Hey, I could start an internet rumor about how the Amway dude treats his players like his personal slaves. I could use a blog tree or an e-mail tree to spread it. That'd be fun, wouldn't it. Or I could just go to Wikipedia and screw with the entry there. Ain't the intertubes great? |
Reading some blogs can be like taking a trip on a bus, plane, or train and listening to some old geezerette sitting next to you baring her soul and telling you her life story. Let her have her fun. You don't have to listen politely. You don't have to visit her blog -- or the blog tree sites she tells you about in her e-mails. Come to think of it, why don't you just discard or file away her e-mails without opening them? Then, when she dies and you're feeling guilty, you can go back for a looksee. . . . See. You were right to ignore them in the first place. If it's not lies, rumors, and "uplifting" tripe in forwarded e-mails, it's original lies, rumors, and tripe in blogs. Geez, why don't these old farts stick to bingo? Or games on the internet? Boe-ring.
