Why blogging is dangerous
My written output is generally of low quality and miniscule popularity. But rather than blame my own poor writing skills, I'd love to blame the blogging medium itself and claim that blogs are inherently bad and lead directly to shitty content. So here's a quick break down of the pluses and minuses of blogs. | Attribute | Good Side | Bad Side | | High Volume | Lots to read! | Most of it crap :(
| | Broad Topics | unpredictable | irrelevant
| | poorly edited | full of soul | illegible
| | non commercial | honest | unappealing
| | very personal | touching | self indulgent, opinionated
| | instant distribution | idea viruses at the speed of thought! | damage control not possible
|
|
The only dangerous thing about blogging is that once an idea is blogged, it cannot be recalled. The same however is true of email, as numerous debacles have shown.
Hopefully, by harnessing the goodness and filtering out the badness, my stuff will eventually become:
- Blogalicious
- Blogtacular
- Blogtagious
- Blogdacious
- Blogadaisical
- Blogomatic
- Blogadelic
- Blogtastic
- Blogasexual
- Blogatantric
- Blogosophical
- Blogamental
- Blogaphoric
In the meanwhile, I have to work on my blogatude.
cheers.
