I started to realize that blogging was becoming the new myspace phenomenon when one of my friends wrote me a comment saying you have a blog too? I replied back with yes, why? His answer was everyone and there mama has a blog. I began to think about it was the new bandwagon that everyone has slowly been hopping on over the past few years. We even have this class which is dedicated to nothing but blogging.
A blog in my description would be personal views and ideas that covers whatever is most important to the blogger. I agree with Cass McNutt who said that bloggings best description could be described as a column meets talk radio.
I think that this phenomenon will only continue to grow because people are naturally curious in how people live there lives and people also love to talk about themselves to anyone that will listen.
I see my blog as being an extroverted personal blog. I love to find information on the web and put my own personal commentary on the issue or artifact. Before I created my blog I created it with a purpose other then class. I wanted to write about music, the music industry is where I want to make my career. I love to incorporate images as much as possible because when I read a blog that is what captures me are the images.

I think your comment from your friend is interesting because I thought the blog phenomenon had slowed down. But perhaps this is because very few people in my social sphere have blogs right now... unless you count myspace, but that has slowed down dramatically too. In high school, it was a huge thing to have blogs (aka live journals) but I felt like myspace took that over. My fiance has a blog, but hasn't updated it since June 26th, 2006.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right though-- it's a bandwagon that everyone is slowly joining.
