I personally think people are being very harsh on this blogger.
He's a friendly person who makes an effort with the time he has available to produce a service for us as a community.
At the end of the day, if you aren't happy with it, perhaps offer to help him out with the blog if he requires any assistance, or set up a world newspaper if you like.
Simply put, there's too many people posting stuff which is only going to make the blogger feel bad about actually doing the blogs for us in the first place. If you want to say stuff because you don't like a blog, don't insult it, just be constructive.

Constructive Criticism:
Personally, I agree that there wasn't much information in the blog. I'd like to see some tribal reviews from the blogger, or thoughts on where the various tribes may go in the future.
I also think the colouring is hugely annoying, and would like to request that in future blogs that gets avoided, as it doesn't do anything beyond give eye-ache.
