Blogging is Two-Way Communication
While reading Naked Conversations, I’m posting ideas in response.
It’s odd, I suppose, to view reading a book as a two-way conversation but since the book is about blogging it seems justified.
I have been blogging semi-regularly now for more than a year and haven’t always taken the two-way reality of blogging very seriously. I assume I am in good company. What exactly is blogging anyway?
To the uninitiated, a blog is a database application that lets people write diary-like entries. However, there is much more to the democratic spirit of blogging. A blog facilitates a two-way dialog.
I’m beginning to embrace this aspect of blogging as a good thing. I like to keep things tidy; two-way dialog is anything but neat and predicatble. However, it is a way of learning from peers, customers, and detractors.
This blog is now committed to dialog. Thanks Scoble and Israel. You may make a blogger out of this online diary writer yet!
