Why a blog?
Most 'news' these days is just someone's opinion. For example, is the current U.S. involvment in Iraq part of a global war on people who keep half their population subjugated and have a state policy of genocide, or is it just little Georgie Bush trying to win daddy's approval? You be the judge!
The U.S. presidential election in 2004. The drive-by media shoved the
term "blogosphere" down our throats every single day. As an internet
professional, I had no idea, at first, what they meant:
Blogosphere (n) : the opinions of people who can't get paid to give their opinions
This isn't to be confused with:
Minimum Wage (n) Your employers way of telling you, "I would pay you less if I could."
Anyway...a bunch of losers giving unsolicited opinions? Count me in!
OK, it's not really a "blog" with comments and community
involvement and endless blah blah blah. It's just stuff that needs
to be said.
"...The other thing about blogs is that written text fails to capture the full range of rich human communication. It's easy to take more offense than is necessary to the wrong choice of words. Minor and casual criticism can quickly ferment into a difficult stink, and attempts to bury it can often just make it worse. Blog entries are like emails that cc: to the entire world..."
