It's just more interesting this way as far as I'm concerned. A blog would perhaps work if I was semi-famous and I could attract a diverse audience. Otherwise, I think I'd just attract like-minded people, which has its pros and cons. The cons are mostly about not being exposed to very different point of views. The pros are mainly about being able to go into more details, to "deepen" the debate... but this can be an illusion if most people coming to the site have the same ideoligical framework.
Basically, I don't think blogging is for me. why should you care about other ideologies? You close yourself out to them all anyway.  I don't. Others just fail to convince me. | |

Basically, I don't think blogging is for me. I find that the bulletin board format (like the org) fills this gap to a large extent. I've gotten a lot of exposure to other ideologies here. On the other hand, like-minded people are the ones where I can really discuss things without constantly having to bicker about the basics. Fear is the mind-killer. | |

Bloggers are gonna be the next big thing. I kid you not. Companies are paying upwards of 20-40 grand to get a decent spot in Google, and webloggers are able to band together and knock a keyword to the top spot in google in a couple weeks. | |
