I have to say I really dont know where to begin this blog. I think I will just take this time to let everyone know where I stand on Blogs.
When blogs are used to share some kind of information or knowledge that might be important to society in any way, I guess I dont really have a problem with it. But when people use it as a forum for them to bitch and whine about their lives, or even to describe and log their lives so that others can read about them, you could say I have a real problem with them. Do you really need a journal for other people to read about your sorrows so that you can get others to feel sorry for you? I might just be in a really negative mood at the moment which might make me sound like an asshole, but I just think people use blogs and other online journal sites in order to portray themselves to other people as something other than who they really are. Me bitching about other people bitching is an example of things I would say is trash on blogs, but I feel as if I should make it clear on this mandatory assigment of where I stand on the subject.
Now that I think I have probably made myself seem like a total ass, lets move on to something that I care about and something that consumes everyday of my life. Sports.
Sports
I love all sports but I am especially drawn to baseball. I dont know why that is. Maybe it is because I played it when I was younger, but I also played basketball, football, soccer and vollyball. Other than the intro paragraph above, I will be devoting my entire splog to Local sporting events. I will break down Warrior games, Sharks games, Giants and A's games when the season begins in a couple months and I will write analysis of 49er activity during the offseason. I will even dive into the sabercats games as well as Stealth games, which will be exciting for me because Ive never covered those at KNBR until this semester.

I don't know what you consider helpful to society, but I thought I might list a couple of blogs that I think contribute back.
http://blog.johnedwards.com/ - or any campaign site, I just think edwards is using the web the best right now
http://boingboing.net/ - Boing Boing
http://www.37signals.com/svn/ - These guys do such a great job at looking at the design world, that I think a lot of what they have to say extends past design, there book 'Getting Real' is changing the way people write web software. And people from many different industry's are saying that the ideas are useful to them as well. the book is available online too.
http://www.sbnation.com/ - Sports Blogs, I thought you might like this one. The guy who runs this site started the most infamous and popular political blog Daily Kos. Then decided to switch to sports because that was his true love.
Also I agree with you that many blogs are of a personal nature. I think that is part of human nature, that we want to be heard no matter how insignificant we are but getting mad at people because they are writing there feelings down, I think is mean. They didn't ask you to read, its there if you want.
If you think that is all the blogs are about. I would ask you to look at any popular blog metric and you will see that the most popular blogs, the blogs that get 80% of the traffic in the blogosphere are doing something much different then a personal vanity blog.
