Blogging is the new "killer app"

Since it became really easy to be hosted, and have sw that produces a somewhat dynamic content (but not really in the true sense) that is easy for people to update often, I think that blogging has become the newest best thing about the web. It's great to be able to see into the lives of people that you know, and sometimes ones you don't. It seems really free and easy: people are not confined by what their boss tells them to put on the net, they don't have to tell everyone their real name, etc. Overall, really cool.

Today while looking at Ryan's blog I followed a link that Andrew posted, and found another blog by a guy who I guess is Jon Eaves. It just gets me that it is SO easy to find these blogs, for people I don't know, and probably won't know. But I can see as much into their lives as they let people. So cool. Maybe I am just amused by the game Jon made. I love magnet poetry...

  1. What exactly does "blog" mean? Does this make you a blogger, Jim? Hee hee!

    And yes, this does make me a blogger. ;-)
    If you are interested in starting your own blog, there are lots of places that will do this (and host for you) like blogger.com
    I think that sympatico also allows you to have some web space, but I have to look into that some more. Come to the blog-sphere and join the "enlightened". hahahaha...

  3. Yeah,
    I really like blogging. Since i've chosen to develop my own blogging system, it also helps me keep up with my skills. Although i haven't done much lately.

  4. I did my own blogging sw too, but it wasn't great (to be kind). But it taught me some about Perl and web apps. At first it was just an excuse to experiment with web technologies, and now it's just to blog.

  5. My blog uses PHP and MySQL. It works quite well for the most part. It's pretty basic, with just a few features, but does the job for me.
