Why Blogging Is Still Fun

Still no real editors and no real rules. A collegehumor.com editor spills

And so my co-workers and I find ourselves paid to waste time based partly on our ability to guess what will be popular...It’s true: Without the benefit of a trusted formula, much of the work of picking content for the site boils down to instinct (read: guessing) mixed with analysis and a healthy dose of argument.
