BLOGGING ALONE....

So many blogs so little time. Even if your blog gets read it isn't catchy enough or relative enough to comment on. Maybe the reader just does not know how to put into words what they want to say. Of maybe I am just kidding myself that people are reading this blog. It is like being the popular kid at blog school or the outsider. I find it interesting that teachers and professors make assignments that students must blog and usually if you want points it has to be their blog. Then they brag about how popular the blog site is getting. How many hits is important in the blogsphere even if the hits are meaningless and were required for the course. This could all be chalked up to blogenvy. Perhaps and perhaps I could require students to read this blog. No I won't do that. Maybe I do not utilize the promotional end of blogging and I should be attaching my blog to every facebook wall posting, every e-mail sent out, and even my youtube account. I could do that ... but would feel even worse if I still did not capture blog readers. So I guess I continue to blog alone...talking to myself...discussing topics of interest to me...making an efforst to share ideas and converstations. Self evaluation through blogs in similar to blog journaling. Nothing bad can really come of it and something good might be found among the rambling. My thought for the day is how social networks, blogs, chat rooms, and technology sites can be very lonely for a lot of people who never get responded to. What do they have to give up to get the attention they desire from this informational technology venue? Some post outrageous videos, some lie about who the are and change their personality, and some try to post controversial topics to rope bloggers in....
