The blog is an interesting medium, don’t you think? I still remember the days of the static web. Back then websites were a one way communication. If you wanted to know something, you probably ran a search and found a website. That website hopefully would contain the information you needed. That was about it. The information was there for you to read. There was no conversation. There was no reply. You just read.
These days, now that we have “Web 2.0″, everything’s different. The Internet is more than just a one way communication. Even mainstream websites have places where you can participate in the conversation. The blog is a big player in the conversation going on online. In a way, the goal of a blog is to create community and conversation.
Publish or perish – This is what the irony of blogging 2.0 states. If you provide content on a regular basis, you have a “right” to blog. Or else, don’t do it!
