Blogging is Hard Work
Posted in Original on 12/26/2008 07:34 pm by Jordan SalvitSince I came back from vacation in September, I have had a very hard time getting back into blogging. I have taken up twitter in the meantime, which has occupied more time than I ever imagined, but blogging and micro-blogging are very different. Until now, every time I blogged I felt that I needed to have a position and a wel thought out argument about an article I read, a site I saw or an idea that I wanted to rant about. I am starting to think that I was very wrong and didn’t truly get the idea of blogging, which is why I found it so hard to write something every week.
I now think that blogging is about being part of the conversation: the conversation of the web. It should be an extension of what I micro-blog about and give me and my followers a larger space to converse.
Any thoughts?
