Blogging is good for you
First we discover there's plenty of money in blogging. Now, courtesy of an article by Jean Nicol* in the SCMP, we discover that blogging is good for you, too. Ms Nicol calls herself the Everyday Psychologist. Helen, you may have a copyright case here. Writing about emotional topics by keeping a journal is usually a good idea. There is quite a bit of evidence to show that it makes people feel better, both physically and mentally. Talking out everyday experiences helps people's equilibrium, too.posted by Simon on 07.04.05 at 01:41 PM in the

Blogging is even better when it doesn't throw up random errors for no apparent reason. Sorry about that. Still working on it. posted by: Pixy Misa on 07.04.05 at 01:44 PM [permalink]Pixy, you never need to apologise. posted by: Simon on 07.04.05 at 01:54 PM [permalink]Hahaha! That was a sweet analysis done. posted by: KOSMOS on 07.04.05 at 02:09 PM [permalink]That article don't make no sense towards the end. And I obviously don't agree with it, mostly due its very cautious explanatinos about blogging. Why do we have to legitimize blogging? Or even try making it ''real'' by sayign that it is becoming mroe like the offline world? It is what it is, and it's working, so leave it alone, right? posted by: doug on 07.04.05 at 02:19 PM [permalink]Yes Doug, but most people find a need to deal with new things by categorising in terms of what they already know. Clearly there are issues here...let's go back to your childhood. posted by: Simon on 07.04.05 at 02:33 PM [permalink]There was this one time, sniff, I didn't mean to, but, sniff...my sister, she was performing on stage, and....sniff....i vomited on the crowd...sniff... and then..and then...oh god.. posted by: doug on 07.04.05 at 03:26 PM [permalink]What a load of rubbish. This woman is approaching from her own viewpoint of how she would write her own personal blog, should that be her style. Should she get down from her high-horse armchair, she could maybe get to know that personal blogging comes in all shapes and forms, and that those with anonymity can often do away with the "polite lying" and "the falseness of a political spin". For some people, what they blog is really who they are. While I can agree that blogs generally fit a few bills-there are any million political blogs, as well as any million blogs that are written in such a style that I would rather pick out ingrown toenails than subject myself to them, that doesn't mean that blogging is so straightforward. She's got them pegged into styles, and being pegged is somethign that blogging just can't do. When will people stop trying to define and legitimize blogging, and jsut let it be whatever it is? My inner child can beat up her Freud. Anyday. posted by: Helen on 07.04.05 at 09:55 PM [permalink] |
