Bloggin’
Through time people have always dreamed of reading other peoples diaries. If you had a sister it was your life long mission, as sibling, to find and enjoy the satisfaction of as you read and exploit your findings. If you can not find a diary in sight, you might want to read a blog, or an online public diary. People eager for reading pleasure turn to blogs for entertainment.
The article I read was The Blogging Revolution by, Andrew Sullivan, a blogger.
Blogging started in 1994 and started to spread and expand into topics and categories. Now there are a bunch of different blogs varying from dating, sex, drugs, games, and technology. That’s only a few but now you can understand that there are so many different blogs for any type of person that it has become a phenomenon. Many people are responding to blogs they read, just reading, or even starting there own hoping to draw an audience. The article talks about how blogging is starting a revolution on the internet for opinioned journalism. It compares the blog revolution with internet magazines and how magazines are news and blogs are personal and how people would rather blog and read blogs then read internet magazines.
In the world of blogging, the world is your audience; the trouble is getting the attention of your audience. People like the challenge and try to create and maintain a successful blog, but it defiantly is hard. Multiple entries per day and keeping it juicy are bound to make the author burn out. Either way there are so many blogs no one will be bored. As long as people are living there will be people still blogging.
