When I first entered my 21st Century Literature class my thoughts were " what is this all about?" I thought it was all about reading...not writing. When Prof. Lennon told us we have to give a blog every week I was pissed. When it comes to writing with exposure to comprehension, I'm totally against it. It takes up valuable time, but as I've been writing blogs for this semester I noticed that it can be very interesting that blogging and social media have changed. inhabitants can promote themselves at no additional cost. It gives you a chance to speak out and people can hear you out. Blogging can give you a inspiration, reflection, encouragement or something to make the reader enjoy seeing photographs of things the blogger experiences.
Inheriting people feedback is a good way of communicating and them stating their opinion,thoughts and ideas. I've been thinking for a while trying to articulate my ideas about weblog as communication. To find others and connect with them. Weblog provide an expansion of thinking space. Living in this world creates a sense of belonging and sense of community. Through my experience with blogging this semester I look at it to be a ecosystem. We don't read same weblog, but they are interconnected and we get exposed to different names, events and ideas.
Blogging gives density of networking, ideas traveling around and time devoted reading the blog of others. Being a new blogger the most important thing...from my experience, is feel rhythm of blogging community. It's like learning the map of New York City. Getting a map for a orientation, learning terms of the English language, finding good guides of starting a blog and taking time to explore.
I've noticed of I write a journal entry into my notebook, it will help but at a certain point. Blogging helps communicate my thoughts that I go through in my personal life and around the world. Even though the audience is largely made of people who don't know me, the animosity is freeing. It's a great big inter web out there. Those that don't live an online life or who use Internet as an information resource with emailing to keep in touch don't get the power of blogging. It's fun as a hobby, absorbing and a good television show in writing words.
