Blogging...

Ten years ago this week the term weblog was first used. I've been blogging nearly two years, every day with the exception of a one week summer break.  It is an interesting phenomenon socially. The history of blogging founding myths is interesting background and the history of this thing is really yet to be written.  The way that online conversations take place and the shift to online reading and communication and knowledge is a huge shift. 

There are now 120,000 new blogs being created every day according to Technorati. Posts are being added to blogs at a rate of 17 per second - a total of 1.5 million per day, says the firm.  I've wondered if this is all a pet rock thing but it isn't.  I've not time over the holidays to go deeper into all of this.

Twitter is the latest form of blogging but I'm not there yet.

I'm not a Twitterer either. I have a real life to live, and don't want to interrupt it so often to tell people what I'm up to.
