notable notes on blogs and presence
Hello, and hi again
Blogging, I like it. On and off over the years, but I like it. A thing (possibly superfluous, 100% perceptual) that I noticed, with blogs, is that tones and voice have changed a lot in the past few years. I think people are recognizing, or maybe taking more seriously, the concept of their blog being their Home ont he Internet. A lot goes into a blog over time, people discover things, share more, and grow as daily writers and individuals. A self-commited habit of mostly net benefit.
Days of hyper-egotistic writing (in those eras – early-oughts, maybe even late-90s – usually with an ad-driven offering) are dissipating more and more. The 2018+++ era of writing online for many shows promise for more candid, and conversational documents. Perhaps less hesitation towards replying to a blog via a post on one's own blog. Or sort of public-replies – like a “quoted RT” (sorry for drumming up a Birdsite reference), only a more methodical and fleshed out text document – meantime, broadcasting (in a positive way) the other blogger's entry.
