Dude, What is a Blog Exactly?

A query that has been echoed a lot recently, so lets go…

To me -simply put- a blog is a true expression of one’s self.

It is a way to share your opinion and get it out to massive amounts of people in a simple and easy manner.
It is your own personal “soapbox” to stand on and voice your take on whatever the hell you want- there is no limit…
War.
Love.
Sports.
Entertainment.
Religion.
Education.
Politics.
Business.
Economics.
Your life.
Or your pets life…
In essence, you are exercising your first amendment right over the largest network in the word.

Additionally it can act as our own online common for connecting with friends. All barriers, like distance, are now broken down (The World is Flat- great book if u haven’t bought it yet, do it today)

It’s a convenient way to collect bodies of work and cultivate ideas with diversified discussion as well.
Sure there are blogs dedicated to a certain goal or mission but since these sites are generally started by an individual person I feel it is fundamentally more personal than recognized. It is way of distributing multimedia on what you value perhaps?

The developments of technology and space for the web are literally, awesome.
Inspiring Awe.

People can now send or get whatever info they want, whenever they decide they want it. And it’s not restricted to printed information only found in books. Now, a blog allows people to broadcast and access information in virtual real time.

You can access infinite amounts of information and now its mobile and palm sized.
You can -from anywhere- link into your team...
Your country.
Your music
Your bank.
Your work.
Your friends.
Your shows.
Your community.
Your school… I don’t wanna keep going on this one cause both lists above are infinite and Im sure you get the point.

Blogs and social networking sites are real time and instant-
America has a new habit…Move over TV, here comes the Internet and you better get used to it.
Why?Because its faster…

You can always count on the power of “now.”
And as Elanor said, “America is all about speed. Hot, nasty speed.”

Frankly, people -like me- love to live in an instantaneous world. We love getting our information as fast as possible and delivered to our pockets. I think it’s great how fast I can get updates on the things that are important to me.
The main downfall which I wrestled with in a previous post is the inability to get away and vacation.

I do like that the new “habit” in the sense that it is turning us from societies of passive viewers into innovative creator and collaborators so, “Blog-On!”
