The Life and Times of the Blog - A CASE OF NERVES
Blogging is baie introspektief. Ek het op 'n stadium opgehou om Ars Blogging posts te lees, want my opinie is "if something is worth doing, do it, don't talk about it". Mense het opinies. Blogging gee mense geleentheid om dit uit te druk. Wat is verkeerd daarmee? Nie alle blogs is interessant, betekenisvol or goed nie. Moet hulle wees?Ek dink blogging word oor die algemeen verkeerd verstaan deur joernalistieke denkers. Iewers het iemand die mal idee gekry dat "blogging = journalism". Wat nie die geval is. Ek dink dit verduidelik sommige joernaliste se ekstreme opinie oor blogging.En Thamm wat dink dat "skryf slegs ernstig is"? WTF.Maar ek het wel 'n kleintjie weg vir die ander kant van die spektrum: bloggers wat blogs te ernstig opneem (domkop.blogspot.com is vir my die beste en arroganste voorbeeld).

no amount of conversation about the nature of water can quench your thirst.

Hoekom kan blogging nie maar joernalistiek wees nie? Dis net soveel joernalistiek as wat Van Alle Kante joernalistiek is, dis 'n uiting vir iemand se mening. Die feit dat my blog dan swak joernalistiek is sal ek mee saamstem, en dis oraait, want ek het nie baie lesers nie. 'n Blog is vir my soos 'n journal, 'n baie unsecret journal. Ek skryf eintlik vir die blog wat ek dink, ander mense kan dit net ook toevallig lees.

I like getting my thoughts in order, and I find blogging is a nice way of getting your thoughts in order in dialogue with other people. Which is healthy.Also, I enjoy the contact with fun people, like yourself me. Dorothy.And I believe if you want to read the blogs of others, it is your duty to offer something to the blogosphere as well - I can't understand those anonymous people who write whole essay length comments on other people's blogs, but won't start their own.

Trying to police blogging is as silly as thinking blogs only exist on blogspot.comI agree with gm that the only real danger is taking it too seriously, thats what separates us from he animals. The ones that blog. On blogspot.
