To Blog Or Not To Blog
Why Blog? Why Blog?
1. It’s Free!
2. All the cool people do it
3. Connect with an audience of dozens to millions.
4. Stop sending mass emails to everyone.
5. Archive your thoughts.
While searching for a blog that focused on Juvenile Diabetes, I stumbled across the “Diabetes Diary” on Blogger.com – url http://kelseysdiabetesdiary.blogspot.com/2006/06/jdrf-annual-meeting.html#comments
This is basically blog developed by a woman who has Diabetes. She was discussing the San Diego JDRF Chapter’s Annual Research Update. I found this blog to be interesting because this is a topic that is very dear to me.
The overall format of the blog is consistent with the blog which you are viewing discussion on. This is a site that would most likely appeal to adults who are affected by Juvenile Diabetes and its complications. While I am very captivated by the research portion of finding a cure, I do realize that the average person whose life has not been affected by Diabetes may consider this to be a boring zone.
The second blog that I chose to explore can be found at http://g8.no/index.php I found this to be one of my absolute favorite blogs because I have a natural interest in pictures. I take my camera with me everywhere and I am known to many as the official, unofficial photographer. This blog is set up so that even the absolute computer illiterate can participate needing only a name and email address.
In terms of socialization vs personal discussions online, I must admit that I think that blogs do both. In my opinion there are sites that promote genuine socialization, but there are also sites that often go unknown/ unrecognized and as a result become personal discussions. I hope that the marketing/promotion of blog sites some how becomes more efficient.
