Wired News: You, To, Can Right Like a Blogger: "A lot of people will tell you that blogging is merely journaling online. It is not. Blogging is not private, but very public. And very few blogs involve the kind of introspection that characterizes a serious journal. Most blogging is sheer exhibitionism, either the self-absorbed ramblings of an individual blogger or the corporate site that exists for the sole purpose of making money. (If anyone sees a disturbing parallel between blogging and column writing, kindly keep it to yourself.)
This doesn't mean blogs have to be badly written. It just means that most are."
Everyone may be able to blog, but only the most gifted can create a blog that is a combination of these two quotes:
ReplyDelete“Good artists copy; great artists steal.” —Pablo Picasso (and Steve Jobs)
"Brevity is the spice of erudite" —Unknown
