Web Application Design, Development & Innovation in Cape Town

[Chorus]

“Blogging” “Blogging” “is dead”
“Blogging Blog” “blogging” “is dead”
“blog–blogging” “blog–blogging” “is dead”
“blog–blogging” “blogging” “blogging”

[Hook]
If blogging should die before I wake
I’ll put an extended trackback & ping every which way
Muti to every post, straining the server
Muti every post, eating your bandwidth
If blogging should die before I wake
I’ll put an extended trackback & ping every which way
Muti to every website, murder your server
Muti every post, murder the badnwidth
[sample]
Blogging just died this mornin’
And it’s dead, it’s dead

[Verse 1]
Yeah, bloggers work, laugh, collaborate, and dine at the same URL
Get comments, IM, work their blogroll’s network
Rich…! ass bloggers is ridin’ with three llamas
Revenge in their eyes, MyBlogLog and the Spam Karma
Word to the wise with villain state of minds
Grindin’, hittin’ SERP’s climbin from behind
Grindin’, hittin’ SERP’s climbin from behind
(Grindin’, hittin’ SERP’s climbin from behind)
Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it’s sown up
Any blogger will tell ya Your Web AddiCT helped grow us up
My domain once graced promotional podcasts
Hundred million ‘hits’, I helped build ‘em up
Leaving arb comments right, I could have not left
So like my girl Max, my AddiCT went to SARocks
So reader, who’s your top ten?
Is it Mushy Peas on Toast? Is it Mavis Strikes Again?

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
The bigger the badwidth cap, more videos you’ll be watching
Come through, something ill, missin’ the ceilin’
What influenced my posts? What I’m feeling
Project planning, projects failing, ASP.net
Criticize that, why is that?
Cuz a 27Dinner is compared to legitimized crap
Cuz we love to talk on RSS readers we gettin’
Most intellectuals will only half listen
So you can’t blame podcasting
Or Dave Duarte with his internet trend watching
Oh I they like me– the sunflower, the bee
You can’t buy me, we here for life B
On my second marriage, Internet’s my first wifey
And for that we not takin’ your comments lightly
If blogging should die we die together
Bloggers, on the awards we worked together
All together now

[Hook]

{*crowd chanting “Blogging!” becomes beat*}

[Verse 3]
Everybody’s posts read the same, commercialize the game
Reminiscin’ when it wasn’t all business
If it got where it started
So we all gather here for the dearly departed
Blogger since a web-toddler
Mike Stopforth became a man then a mobster
If the guys let me get my last post on the blog
R.I.P., we donate our ad revenue to CLUG
Went from only html to XML
From ‘what is RSS?’ to feedburner
From default themes to custom-built skins
From 5 mintue design to winning an Apple TV
I’m lookin’ over my shoulder
It’s about eighty Linkedin Connections that showed up
And they came to show love
Fully-booked 27Dinner and the wikis closed shut
