I must have started blogging at a time when blogging was still generally was not considered as cool as it is now. Back then, it was all about online journaling to me. I blogged because I wanted an online space where I could post my thoughts, even the rather private ones. I started blogging for a few semi-stranger friends: friends from outside the Philippines with whom I could keep up through blogging. It’s still a different matter to e-mail them as e-mail was more for private conversations.

Bole’s idea is right, but only up to a certain point. One blogs not only because one wants to affect people, stranger or not. One blogs because one has something to say. That something might not be worth-reading or not, but that is better left to the reader and the author to judge. i say, blog yourself away and in due time one or two strangers will stumble upon your little corner on the web and find value in it.

@ Fleeb

Haven’t heard of it yet. Already did a search and bookmarking selected readings.

@ Jolo

Almost exactly like it. My point was more focused on the minority or those who blog for everything else but worthwhile.

OT: Heard of “Project Underdog”? There are marketing claims that said it would surpass Google… Let’s wait and see…
