I've started a blog now, as well. Going with the flow. Advancing with incessantly advancing technology, ever growing, ever difficult to keep up with. And why? I'm not really sure, actually - to share my views with the world, probably - subjective opinions, that kind of thing. A passion for journalism, yet nothing (I believe) journalistic of the sort - and yet journalists are encouraged to keep blogs. Since when is good journalism, that is, current affairs, reporting and the likes, as blatantly opinionated as a blog (granted, nobody can be entirely objective)? And since when do random people want to know about my opinions (lest it be in the 'comments' or 'editorial' section of newspapers, magazines, or in trivial chitchat 'down the pub')? I'm not really sure. But I suppose that's the way the world's going at the moment. And I suppose I should disengage myself with my journalistic training of trying to be as objective as possible and attempting to report the facts. So let's use this as a place to rant. Or discuss.
Hey, I'm ranting right now. Or discussing. Fancy that.
I've seen other blogs, and they show various aspects of a person's personality. Everybody keeps a blog for different reasons - whether it be a hormonal release into the virtual world of the web, a project for a degree course, a reason to keep fans updated with various goings-on. I'm yet to get a specific direction. Maybe a commentary on the goings-on of the world around me.
Perhaps I'm yet to get the hang of this.
I think I'm going to give twitter a go too. Yeah.
