I couldn't agree more. Of course we can go on forever talking about the power of a blog. I always recommend this to my clients over forums and "guest books" (yes, German's still use "guest books") What an excellent entry, Alina. I couldn’t agree more. Of course we can go on forever talking about the power of a blog. I always recommend this to my clients over forums and “guest books” (yes, German’s still use “guest books”)

I'll use a Vin Diesel/Riddick movie quote here: "We all started as something else":D God I missed that! :D Yes, the reasons and benefits were captured and changed by business opportunities. But if that happens to our foreheads (you remember the guy opening an auction for his forehead as an ad space), that was something to be expected, I guess. Even when they are personal, we still promote (knowingly or not) a personal brand. More of us than we first believed are quite good at it as well!

i suspect somehow that blogging is a phenomenon that was a truly person to person medium which has been captured into the corporate/commercial circuit, a usage in which the personal message has been negated by capitalist need (sorry for the cliche’s but it’s all i have to express myself at the moment)

humans are social beings and being such they need to communicate in ways they feel meaningful… the storytellers of ages past, musicians, writers, sculptors and artists were all trying to convey their message in the media available on their own special terms, they needed to be heard and were willing and able to try the possibilities presented…

the literature and art we love from centuries past are but the top of a much larger creative movement present in human society at the time, in the same way some blogs will stand out above the clamour and mediocrity of much that is written nowdays… there’s absolutely nothing wrong with people writing what they want or need to express on their own terms, society sifts and sorts out those who are outstanding or have a particular message which is relevant at a special time and place in history (and in odd cases much later after the work was produced)

writing a blog is an expression of one’s own humanity, an expression of a need which needs to be addressed, for better or for worse… a soul that is unable to communicate for whatever reason is doomed to the madness of personal fiction, with all the accompanying results…

hope this helps (my turn for ranting :P )

keep well
bart
