I think a lot of journal articles should really be blogs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not sure blogs are necessarily the best place to get a pulse on anything. People want to blog for a variety of reasons, and that may or may not be representative.
You know, some of the good part of blog theory was that blogs would be like diaries that the world could read. They would be spontaneous, whatever pops into your mind, as a diary would be.
A blog is neither a diary nor a journal. Many people think of blogging in relation to those two things, confessional or practical. It is neither but includes elements of both.
Nowadays, everyone seems to have a blog that finds readers.
I think that in the blogosphere, the idea is to have the most controversial stuff up.
While I love the medium, I've always been skeptical about the value of blogs as businesses.
Everyone should have a blog. It's the most democratic thing ever.
Blogs are for anoraks who couldn't get published any other way.
I think the word 'blog' is an ugly word. I just don't know why people can't use the word 'journal.'
The blogosphere might be very useful as propaganda or as therapy. But it's not journalism.
