Besides all the super cheap advertising to be had on sites which use Entrecard’s service, one other advantage is how many great blogs you’ll discover. One such blog I landed upon a while back is Comments Are Open, authored by a blogger who simply refers to herself as Blog Starr.

“gossiper, stalker, petty fighter, good kisser, snark Diva & attitude in a box”

That’s all you find as a description and info about Blog Starr in her profile, but that’s really all you need because Comments Are Open isn’t really about her, it’s about all of the other bloggers she writes about. It’s a good bet you’ve heard of paparazzi, well Blog Starr considers herself a Blogarazzi, bringing you the latest gossip and rumors in the blogosphere. It’s a fun concept considering many bloggers reach a near celebrity status.

If you’re a pretty well known blogger and tend to write openly and perhaps a little over-dramatically, there’s a good chance you may find yourself on Blog Starr’s radar. For example when the popular blogger known as Dooce recently ranted about hate mail returning insults to her haters, Blog Starr whipped up a post entitled “Silly Dooce, Hate is for Haters.” In the post Starr writes, “Heather’s comments on her latest summary of Dooce’s indigestible hate letters is pretty indigestible in and of itself”

I think it would probably be easy to read many posts on Comments Are Open and label them as offensive towards the bloggers Starr writes about, but honestly after a bit of reading, I would consider the articles to be more tongue-in-cheek than anything and not necessarily meant to offend. I should probably point out that not all posts on Comments Are Open single out bloggers who have a flare for the dramatic. Starr also likes to write about and praise her fellow bloggers as well, like Megan of Velveteen Mind.

If you’re one who likes a bit of gossip, enjoys having a good laugh or just plain likes reading about how the other blogging half lives, Comments Are Open may just be the place for you. Blog Starr has crafted a unique and fun blog that has become a regular and daily read of mine.
