OK, I really don’t know how to start of this post. This whole blogging thing just makes me think about a lot of stuff. How do I want my blog to present itself to readers? Which attributes are the most appropriate and what should I write about besides the networked media related thinking?
All of this thinking is good or at least I think it is. One of my first thoughts about the fact that Adrian wants us to build up our own blog was that: “Can he actually force us to create our own blog?”. Especially because blogging is publishing and publishing is being public, so are we being forced to do public writing? I really thought a lot about this because it is kind of an ethical question, if you ask me. But with that being said I know that most people of my generation is using other types of social media as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc., and when we use these types of media we are being just as public as when we write a blog post on our own blog. We just don’t have a teacher like Adrian reminding us that what we are writing is now out there!
So. From being really skeptical about this whole blogging thing, I now think that blogging in The Networked Media course, could give me the right skills to manage all of the publishing I do every day on the internet. Jesus, I’ve got a headache…
