What kind of blogger are you?

1.   A big election that you care about is coming up.  Do you….
o       Pretend you don’t know who to vote for, so lots of people will post arguments for you to read?
o       Make fun of everyone running, event the person that you support?
o       Blog about actually voting, but that’s it?
·        Post lots of news links, covering all sides fairly equally?
o       Write up detailed analysis of debates, polls, demographics, and party platforms?
o       Blog about who your friends are voting for – and the conversations you’ve had?
2.   When you blog, do you link to other bloggers?
o       Yup, you like people who read your blog to know who your friends are.
o       Only if you're blogging about meeting them in real life.
o       Yes, to subtly make fun of them.
o       You link to specific posts all the time.
·        Sure, if they've said something particularly smart or insightful.
o       Hardly ever - unless they've blogged something about you.
3.   You like blogs that:
o       Link to your blog. Seriously.
o       Show you lots of cool new funny things and new links.
o       Have intelligent posts on what’s going on in the world today.
o       Are run by people you know.
o       That tell a good story of the blogger’s everyday life.
·        Have witty commentary on pop culture, the internet, or politics.
4.   People like your blog because…
o       You have insights they may have not thought of before
·        You have interesting day to day stories
o       You're the master / mistress of the virtual smackdown
o       You’re cute. Duh!
o       You’re a friend of theirs.
5.   How many topics do you usually blog about?
o       Depends - whatever cool things you on other blogs.
o       A few - usually stuff you and your friends are talking about.
o       You've got a half dozen pet subjects you know a great deal about.
·        One. Your lovely self.
o       You've got a few favorites, but anything you can write a funny post about is game.
o       Anything that happened in your life this week.
6.   Your biggest blogging pet peeve is:
o       Anonymous blogs that your friends may be hiding from you
o       Filler blog posts that are lacking in content
o       People who don't have enough interesting links in their posts
o       Bloggers who never share anything about themselves
·        Bloggers who play pretend nice with one another to get more traffic
o       Boring blogs about politics or news
7.   Finally, why do you blog?
·        To think out loud a little, and get opinions in return
o       To have a virtual diary of sorts
o       To get lots of traffic
o       To show your cool finds to people.
o       To keep in touch with your friends
o       For your own self-amusement, really

My choices revealed that I am a pundit blogger.  The official result was, “Your blog is smart, insightful, and always a quality read.  You're up on the latest news, and you have an interesting spin on things.
Of all the blogging types, you put the most thought and effort into your blog.  Truly appreciated by many, surpassed by only a few.”

I cannot agree more with the result, that I put the most thought and effort into my blog.  This is the reason why I only have one blog at the moment.  But I do not claim that my blog is appreciated by many and surpassed by only a few.  I may not be that interesting to some, after all. ;-)
