So what do we know about Hammer? He was an MTV icon for a minute and then became the butt of jokes. Well now he has a blog as well. A blogspot blog. Could he be that broke?
Well, apparently McHammer (btw. I thought he was just called Hammer now), has a team member named Eric who works for Google. Google’s blogger department, the one responsible for such mess-ups like deleting blogspot blogs for interlinking, assuming that it’s all done for the reason of manipulating search engines rankings (true in some cases, but not all). So it seems like Google and Hammer are in this together. Whether he is trying to get the domain name McHammer.com or not, I don’t know. But it seems like he is fine with the way things are right now. Doesn’t make sense to me how anyone could be ok not owning his own online identity.
So now let me put away whatever I know about Hammer, Blogger and look at the weblog itself.
In his profile he says:
I’m an ordinary man, who has lived an extraordinary life. I have been to Japan,Russia,Korea, Hong Kong,Egypt,Germany,Spain, Australia,Singapore,Puerto Rico, every state in America including Alaska and Hawaii.I have met and dined with Presidents and Sultans, and Princes. Most and above all I have met God.
and suddenly I realize, that none of us really know the person. What he says about himself. His blog entries are about his family, his music videos and whatever seems to interest him.
Fishing with the boys, stuff like that shows me that his interests are no longer to be the biggest star in the world. He doesn’t seem to care too much about image at all. His entries seem laid back, and he takes the time to respond to fans commenting. He does however promote current and upcoming events in entries such as DC Hammertime Hyphy Show as well as on his My Space Blog.
To make a long story short, I’m giving it a 2. I like his effort. I give his at least a 4 for his own writings and participation. I hate the slow loading time, the low budget presentation that blogger seems to limit its users to. I would like to give it a higher rating, but believe that the owner of a blog should take some serious interest in aspects that he himself is not an expert in as well.
Register a domain name, Mc. Hammertimeonline.com was available the other day. Sue for your own domain if you have to. Create a stronger presence online. You’ve skyrocketed to the top once, don’t let Blogger keep you from doing so again.
