По интернетов може да се најдат милион разни текстови, критики пофалби и ред други работи за блоговиве. Но се`уште потешко се сретнуваат академски текстови кои се обидуваат да ги изанализираат блоговите низ призмата на постоечките „медиа теории”.

They allow you to see whether your audience is still awake and receptive. In that sense we could also say that blogs are the outsourced, privatized test beds, or rather unit tests of the big media. …
…As Baudrillard states: “All of our values are simulated. What is freedom? We have a choice between buying one car or buying nother car?”17 And to follow Baudrillard, we could say that blogs are a gift to humankind that no one needs. This is the true shock. Did anyone order the development of blogs? There is no possibility to simply ignore blogs and live the comfortable lifestyle of a wentieth−century “public intellectual”. …
