I randomly chose some blogs to view and was surprised by how interesting they were. I also got that sense of hyper that comes from interacting online with the traces of others' thoughts and thinking about how interconnected the web can encourage us to be.
It was good to see someone like Valerie in her blog talk of coming back to this activity.
Going further a posting on Action by havoc also talked of being familiar with these tools, but perhaps not with a purpose as exploratory, reflective and professionally situated as lots of Info. Professionals (and others) getting together virtually in 23things and doing it.
And that for me is the inspiring part of it;- the contextual purpose. Sure I have blogged before, but am sure no one really looked at it, and probably am glad they didn't!
Next of all Addicted to Story talked about the importance of having something to say. This is interesting, as blogging just to promote oneself as I mentioned in my first post, would be rather shallow. I appreciated the humour in this post as well: shall we turn into a
supersonic library blogging monster
Just wish I could be a monster devourer of blog content ...
Lastly in the Adventures of a red headed traveller the problem of travelling to a country like Burma was discussed, ah here I found content that was close to my heart. Having being along the thai-burmese border a few years ago, I felt at first hand the pangs of consternation of handing over 10$ to a border guard when I had just past thousands of his burmese locked up in refugee camps in Thailand, and heard the shelling of some poor faction along the border.
