This title is unveiled by a discussion in one of mailing list(?) I join. I didn't share my opinion there, though. I just waited and seen what kind of conclusion would emerge. Although there was, unfortunately, no one concise conjunctive conclusion, I realized that there were some interesting findings.
One said that blog can resemble what kind of dreams owned by youth generation of a nation. On it, youth can unload honestly their personal mindset, emotion, and even their most private dreams. Hence these mindset and dream honesty portrays the real potential of a nation. Additionally, while blog is personal in nature, mailing list and forum are social system discoursing collective motive and interest. Therefore, on the mailing list and forum a general collective propensity to where a nation will head can be judged.
Here, even though these opinions seem to be over optimistic and I think it over simplifies the connection between blog and a nation's characteristics, I don't want to oppose it. One I will underscore is that blog has both positive and negative impact. As we know, blog (perhaps mailing list and forum too) gains more and more popularity in parallel to the wide spread of internet use (Don't miss it: these reason encourages a prominent novelist to share his masterpieces freely). Many blog types then arise focusing on a particular subject, such as political blogs, travel blogs, fashion blogs, project blogs, niche blogs, legal blogs (often referred to as a blawgs), dreamlogs, or spamming blog (known as a Splog), -what the definition of each term, you can refer it to Aunt Wiki-. Along its evolution, cyber community as well as common people can value what kind of creature blog is. Again, I don't want to elaborate this here as it surely requires hundreds or even thousands pages. Please, check out this and this cool links to warm up our understanding about the good and bad of this so called blog.
Finally, whatever the conclusion you deduce, perhaps one undeniable reason why we are actively blogging is to be known (in a particular aspect). Whichever the aspect is, as long as you blog with heart, go blogging! In the next post I'll try to post some related sources of:
- How blog changes the world
- What you should be aware before blogging
- Small tips to create a blog
- What blog engines easily used (good for me as beginner as well)
- More complicated blog
- Image and video blog
Hopefully these upcoming posts would trigger you to be an expert (and good, of course) blogger.
Happy waiting!
