I just like expressing myself, way before it became popular. I have thoughts I feel compelled to put down, nearly every night.harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14863934044411958616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3458214598464689856.post-22859700008430558692015-03-02T20:10:34.212-08:002015-03-02T20:10:34.212-08:00I don’t hate your blog.

In...I don’t hate your blog. This is what I think. <br /><br />In our culture it has been normalised to experiment with social media. But the choice of media has not been normalised and the social media world is still evolving.<br /><br />Your blog is a form of social media. In times gone by you would have restricted your writing to a diary, dusty words hidden away from public view. Or exchanged snail mail with like-minded colleagues, solving the world’s problems and hanging on for the next mail delivery with an affirming responses. These letters would only see the light of day if and when one of you became famous and a great-niece could forge her literary career on reproducing their content as a famous social commentary. <br /><br />You may do both of these as well as write your blog but I don’t know what you have written in your diary and letters. I only know about what you write in your blog and the question is this. How does it make you feel to publish your words to the wide world? You might think it is only people you know who read this, but the audience is potentially far wider. What do you get from this form of media communication that makes you continue for several years? Will blogs ultimately prevail?
