Blogging for the sake of Blogging continued (2)
So there are many different kinds of blogging. There is blogging to contribute information, there is blogging to voice your opinion, there is recreational blogging, and I'm sure people have found other, more creative blogging uses. Could blogging be a part of the Information Renaissance? Is it really a rebirth of information? or is it just a means by which people can distribute information they feel is relevant to the rest of society. I think it is just a delivery method people are utilizing, so others can hear their voice, and read their thoughts, no matter how ridiculous or relevant their ideas might be.
Like now, I don't consider this particular blog to be a contribution to knowledge. I'm actually interested in asking questions, that might in turn stimulate someone else to answer.
Is wikipedia a blog? It is after all, a bunch of people contributing information on a website.
Somehow, i don't think it is exactly the same thing, but then again, who am i to say?
Anyway, I don't really know what else to say here. hopefully someone will post a comment about wether or not wikipeida can be considered a blog, and that might stimulate further discussions down the line.
And while i haven't contributed a whole lot during the past 3 blogs, i still think these have been more enjoyable posts than the ones i'm required to write, because i had control of the content.
I've just been blogging for the sake of blogging.
