Now that I have been exposed to RSS and weblogs in a much deeper way I feel that I can stand back and ponder what I feel about everything. I really like the RSS as it finds me and that can save a lot of time in my day. Quite frankly, the time commitment was the reason I stayed away from blogs in the first place. Now I enjoy looking at our UBC RSS once a day just to see who has posted something new. It really is quick.
John said something in his last weblog post about feeling like a blog is just someone writing to themselves. What is the point of that. If a blog is not a community then I do think it is a waste of time. I tend to think that for me the best use of a blog is for my e-portfolio. It is a great way to organize artifacts. If someone comments on it then great, but that is not the primary point of it.
