Maybe Blogging Is Dead After All (or Our Conceptualization Is)
Alan Levine,
CogDogBlog, November 10, 2008.
I do not blog for Technorati ranking or Google page rank or anything like that. I blog on Half an Hour because it's a nice place to put my writings (which I had been writing - for an audience of zero - since my mid teens (and I have volumes of such writings as evidence)) and I would continue to blog here, with modifications for style, because this site is - and always has been - the place where I store my bookmarks (which is why I reference and cite each one).
As Alan Levine says, "that is why I blog, to have my own personalized space to do whatever I feel like. Come tomorrow, this site could be all about fish recipes or embroidery or history of tin soldiers. But I am my own archive, and to me that is important. And more so, writing, writing, writing, helps you think, process, develop." I am a writer. And I will keep blogging because I will keep writing, and this is the best place to do it. I don't see anything changing that any time soon.
