Some Spin On The Nature Of Blogs...

Blog (Weblog)
A public web site where users post informal journals of their thoughts, comments, and philosophies, updated frequently and normally reflecting the views of the blog's creator. E-Learning Glossary

Let's talk about blogs. Blogs can be beautiful, blogs can be boring, blogs can be informative, and blogs can be entertaining. The thing I like best about the nature of blogs is that they are an inherently personal thing. My blog is my space. I've created it. You have entered Suzy Land knowingly and are a welcomed guest. You can make choices when you visit about what places interest you and read what you like. Book land is much the same - the reader chooses to read or not to read. Ahh freedom. Is that not what makes democracy work?!?

However, we must be good stewards of that freedom. This means not writing a blog entry about a good book you thought ended poorly, that could possibly be found by the author googling herself (See Suzy Say She's Sorry). This also means not blogging, in response to other blogs, that get you nods and pats on the back at the expense of the original bloggers' opinions. We must all be aware of our intentions, whether we see their outcomes or not.
