Blog?
Should I post a blog?
I googled why post a blog and quickly found an interesting quote:
Why post a blog on the web if not for others to consume it? "To keep a diary" you might say, and if that is the case, why not just keep a diary offline? It's a similar situation to women wearing scanty clothes - they do it so that others will look at them. There's nothing wrong with suggesting what might earn them even more favorable glances. Without people viewing his blog, it becomes little more than an offline diary anyway.
What is a blog? I was asked that by a coworker about a month ago. I told him it was an online diary. Apparently, Wikipedia agrees:
A weblog, which is usually shortened to blog, is a type of website where entries are made (such as in a journal or diary), displayed in a reverse chronological order. Blogs often provide commentary or news and information on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.
The word blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Now, keep in mind that I find it difficult to post something without invoking Wikipedia. So let me say it again, if Wikipedia says it, it must be true, right?
So, back to the question, Should I post a blog?
The easy answer is yes, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Cant We?
