Blogging

For a long time I've been thinking about setting up a blog. Actually I was planning to set up a blog for my exchange semester to keep my friends and family updated of what I'm doing in Dornbirn, but I never did it. Even though it wouldn't take too much time, I just don't have the persistence to update it regularly.

And that's a problem with some blogs I've been reading. Usually in the beginning blogger is very active blogging regularly, but at some point many start to slip on that. If there hasn't been a post for a week or so I easily give up following the blog and remove it from my bookmarks. I think most of the blog readers expect some sort of regularity of the blog they are reading and abandon the blogs if there's nothing new.

Some people just don't have the time for it or they just run out of ideas what to post. Which brings me the next question: what is actually worth blogging? It can't be really just pointed out what's interesting and what isn't. There are millions of bloggers and blog readers. Some may find interesting things that others find meaningless. But considering the number of blog there has to be something for everyone and it's easy to skip the irrelevant blogs and find something new and interesting.

When one is posting on a blog they should really think what they write, since it's impossible to get something you once posted off from the internet. If a blogger is not interested in his/her own privacy they should think about other peoples privacy if they blog also about other people on their daily life.

Blogging is a handy tool to provide new aspects to different things and nowadays it can even be a way to influence the society. Blogging is a media that's here to stay. It'll be interesting to see what it can provide to people in the future. End of this course might be end my blogging career, but maybe just for a while.
