Does anyone read these?

I will start this off with a little truth 'bout myself. I  am a 8 yr industry veteran. Worked for gaming web sites/mags for the entire time.. mostly on the product/web development side.

My big challenge is watching sites/mags do the same 'ole thing over and over.... with very little creativity. I take that back.. little ingenuity.

GameSpot... however, I believe is the leader of them all. Super 1337 web 2.0 asperations. Cleanly designed. Fun user interacticy, and robust content. Truly a leader in our market.

So here we are - user blogs. They're all over... is anyone reading them?
