Thread: Pros and Cons of Automated Blogging?

Automated blogging is blogging that requires little or no input from the creator as it is self sufficient. There are a variety of different programs that allow you to blog like this; so, what do you consider the pros and cons of automated blogging?

I'll add one or two myself.

A couple of the pros of automated blogging;
Blog requires very little maintenance
Blog requires little or no knowledge of the subject your blog is based on
Blog requires little technical knowledge

A couple of the cons of automated blogging;
Automation may provide inaccurate or non relevant data
Requires monitoring to check articles are relevant etc.

Let's add to the list :)

I really cannot see automated blogging having unique contents.

The vast majority of them don't, or can't. I can't see how it would be possible to.
