I am writing this blog post only because I am under the impression that I must blog for my\u00a0current course. For the record I have created 5 different blogs under different hosts, and while I enjoyed the process of figuring out the interface, all of them are taking up dormant storage space somewhere.<\/p>\n
It’s just that I hate blogging.<\/p>\n
I am a librarian. My entire existence is figuring out what “you” need and helping “you” get there. I spend my days, my money, \u00a0and my energies on the hunt for things that other people are interested in. I work fast, hard, and pretty-much solo.<\/p>\n
Wikipedia defines a blog as a, “running account of one’s personal life”. Spending time typing the chronicled details of the days chase seems, “meh.”<\/p>\n
HOWEVER, if we interpret something like Twitter or Instagram, as a blog\/microblog, then I could see how blogging could be more than mundane. \u00a0The subject matter\/interest group is focused and intentional. Communication is succinct, and content rife with serendipitous potential. Interesting how making it more “snap-chat” and less epic\/Homer, makes it more engaging.<\/p>\n
