Marketing Roadmaps

Kat Herding

A new blog burst on the blogosphere this week, and I am still laughing.

Kat Herding.

This is what a satirical character blog should be, and we should not be surprised that the "site contributors" are Chris Locke and Jeneane Sessum, who get the absurd like no one else online.

Why do I like Kat, and I haven’t always liked similar character blogs? Because apart from being funny and poking holes in Web 2.0 hype (something I will ALWAYS be for), it is honest. We don’t have to look hard to know who is behind this effort.

Since RageBoy is probably the first* known character blogger, who can do it better?

*Disclaimer: I have done no empirical research on whether RageBoy actually was the first character blogger, it is just a guess on my part, so please do not send me comments that he wasn’t. I actually don’t care one way or the other. I still think he’s funny.

  1. I just found this blog and was so surprised to be reading about myself that I almost fell off my chair (or, if you read my last post, barstool). But who is this RageBoy character? People keep mentioning him to me and I’m like duh? What are they talking about?

    Please understand: I am not trying to be satirical. It’s just that I’m new at all this. btw, are you a Suicide Girl?

  2. Kat –

    RageBoy — he’s probably your match made in heaven. The other side of the coin. Whatever.

    Am I a Suicide Girl? Nah, although I’m sure there have been plenty who want to kill me in my life 🙂

  3. Susan,

    Satire? Where do you get satire? Find me a single point for that matter. Ironically, if that’s the point, I think mind-numbing might have a limited repertoire (like PR actually).

    Anyway, I can see where you’d like it Susan. Here’s more if you’re interested: http://disney.go.com/home/today/index.html .
