Are Blogs So Yesterday?

I noticed on Easton's Facebook page they received literally thousands of comments on Pump Park. Mainstream media sources such as Express Times also received hundreds of comments on this as well.

Questions Are (Even Though A Bunch Follow Blogs)
Are people more concerned about picnic parks over larger issues?
Is it more important people get their name out there then what's being discussed?
Has Facebook become the new social norm over creditable blogger sites.. why?

From what I've seen most people seem to give less a crap learning about the issues before commenting on them. That in of itself may explain the uptick in their popularity. I don't want to be mean spirited but countless times I see people commenting without doing the due diligence I (and other bloggers) tried very hard to present.

As each day passes it seems most people are more concerned about egotistically complaining rather then educating themselves then offering solutions. That's very frustrating.
