 Tech Digest: Keith Waterhouse, the Daily Mail, Blogging, and the vast Googling tribe of nerds [Rant]
Maybe Keith is actually being incredibly 'with it' and doing the "nerdy blog thing" that is linkbaiting - but I doubt it.
In his 'column' (which to all intents and purposes is a blog, given that it's a series of dated, opinionated, entries with invitation for comment) he makes some fairly outrageous statements about blogging, and Internet users in general.
Seasoned googlers (careful Keith, you'll get into trouble with that infernal engine for using that term): That pretty much covers the majority of Internet users, most of whom are NOT bloggers.

 Amazon.com: Billy Liar on the moon: Books: Keith Waterhouse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Keith Waterhouse represents to me a true descendent of the 'great tradition'.
Waterhouse uses humour in a sharp satiric way, and the obsessions of his characters (Waterhouse's characters are always a neurotic bunch) are portrayed so that they connect with the setting and matter of the story.
As ever, Waterhouse works into this wondrous microcosm affairs, both promiscuous and family, and ties it all together, to give a portrait of the individual in our chaotic modern world that makes real sense.
