I don’t think it’s pointless. I’ve found the site pretty handy on the odd occasions when I’ve consulted it.
It’s a handy way to find older webloggers, ones closer to my age than than the late teen and twentysomething writers who make up the majority of the weblogging populace (and the majority of my daily reads).
Not that I’m guaranteed to find a fortysomething’s weblog more to my taste, any more than I am a UK-based weblog or a science fiction fan’s weblog. But what with all the weblogs out there nowadays, anything that provides a shortcut to finding potentially worthwhile weblogs is worth keeping an eye on.

Good point. I guess I just found it useless because 90% of the blogs listed were from people my age.
