To Blog or Not to Blog, That is the Question...

The subject matter today is blogging. Whats so great about being able to write your thoughts, experiences, and discoveries and share them with the rest of the world? Its a way that you can express yourself and not feel self conscious or worried about who and what people are thinking. It's a way to find people that you have commonalities with, and its a way to be able to track people or subject matters you are that interested in knowing about. Blogging is a really fun idea if you know people that are into it. In reality though, I don't know a lot of people that blog regularly or even at all. That's the one problem that I have with it. I'm sure there are millions of people blogging but I just don't know very many of them. I guess that doesn't mean their blogs aren't interesting. I used to think that blogging was mostly just talking about what you did that day or whats going on in your life, but exploring a little bit on Dr. Z's blog and others, I see that isn't necessarily the case. I think by exploring what is out there anyone could find blogs that would be beneficial or entertaining to them.

I was thinking about how it could be neat for families that are far apart and don't communicate often to be able to have blogs to keep each other informed about happenings in their lives. Also I think it could be cool to use for education purposes, like a way of discussing text or lectures. or even summarizing what had been done in class that day.

There are endless possibilities blogging could be used for, I think that there are ideas for uses that aren't thought yet that could revolutionize blogging. Hopefully we will find out soon.
