There must be a billion blog already cramped in the internet’s virtual space by now. Each featuring trillions of well thought or deeply felt words, most of which remains as a soliloquy. Many also feature a minimum of words or consideration, seemingly lost in the hopeful notion of getting attention from someone/something by simply creating a blip in the vast radar map of blogs.
So, the most responsible question to be asked by anyone out starting a new blog is of course ‘why do another’? If someone is out looking for a certain level of interactivity then surely opening a twitter or facebook account makes more sense? Why add another blip to the radar?
Perhaps, it is exactly the lack of interactivity that makes the ‘blip’ so appealing. As appealing as the realization that just about no one will actually bother to read this first blog entry, let alone ‘interact’ with it. Distanced and somewhat desolate. Like the pages of a dusty diary. An intriguing place, where the creator is also the only one who knows a blip actually exist.
