Well since this is my first time blogging, I can officially say that I am new to the blogging world. Personally, it is not something that I have ever thought to do, or wanted to do, but it is evident that many people make blogging a part of their everyday lives. Blogging in many ways can provide comfort, form friendships, and seek answers. It can be used to display emotion, opinion, or to simply ask a question. Blogging can also be used for both personal and/or business purposes. All in all, blogging can connect people from all around the world with similarities and differences.
Blogging can affect the world in both negative and positive ways. In many cases, blogging results in positive outcomes such as a gain in knowledge, or a formation of relationships between the people who read and respond to one’s blog. Blogging is also a way for people to promote and market their business online. It allows for feedback, which can benefit many businesses in the long run. After reading many online blogs, I realized however, that blogging can become negative when it is based upon negative opinions or attitudes towards certain people – specifically well-known people. It can really just become another spot for assumptions and false information to be spread around.
Blogger was very easy to use once I got started. At first I wasn’t sure what to expect blogging to be like, but blogger has made my experience much more enjoyable than expected. I have also learned that blogging isn’t really as time-consuming as I thought it was. Creating my blog on blogger was a fairly quick and smooth process. I also was surprised to discover how personal one can make their blog. Blogs can include pictures, colours, links, and the fonts that allow each person to make their blog uniquely theirs.
As for the blogs that I read online, many were very useful. I pictured a blog to be posted by just any ordinary person on their own thoughts and opinions. I soon discovered that there were blogs with real information, such as the latest movies and sports blogs. I found that the movie blogs were very interesting, as they provided me with interesting information about some of the new movies that are out or are coming out. Some of the business blogs were also interesting as they provided insight as to what some of the big worldly businesses are up to these days –businesses that I didn’t even know existed.
Since I am also new to Twitter, I took some time to roam around and get to know how it works. I have come to the conclusion that blogging on blogger is much easier and faster than setting up a Twitter account and then trying to understand how it works and the point of it, in reality. I still do not understand Twitter’s purpose, as Facebook, MySpace, cell phones, and MSN Messenger are all capable of updating people on one’s life, as it is. So I can officially say I am not a fan of Twitter myself, and from many of the review blogs I have read about what people think of Twitter, I would say that it is really a mixed bag. Some people find it very useful for whatever their personal needs are, but others, like myself, do not have any specific need for it. Many people have expressed through their blogs that they find the repetitive updates that people provide on Twitter to be of great nuisance. I can agree with those people, as I feel that it is only the people who are closest to me who I care about enough to hear about their hour-to-hour life updates. From this, I can honestly conclude that I will probably never use Twitter again, but I will definitely consider blogging again now that I know how easy it really is to do.
