Blogging
It seems everyone is doing it now. With so many bloggers proliferating, I thought it be appropriate to write something on it.
I notice a lot of difference between local bloggers and those from other countries. Especially those native speakers of English. Their blogs seem to delve into politics and critic on recent happenings rather than personal experiences. Local bloggers tend to blog about their daily experiences and have a flashy website. Perhaps its the age difference that can account for the level of maturity here. Local bloggers tend to be techno-savvy and thus their websites are flamboyant. and are mostly between yrs 10-20 whole those overseas are in their 20s or 30s.Maybe Singaporean youths don't really care much about politics and the things around them, just what they want or have.
How to tell if a blogger is Singaporean
1)You can always tell if a blogger is a Singaporean by looking at the design of the blog. Its hosted by Xanga, blogspot, blogdrive, diaryland or livejournal
2)It contains excruciating details about the person in the profile.YOu see names of schools you recognise. Be it secondary schools, JC or University.
3)it is either in pink purple or red with small tiny fonts you have to squirm to look at. and has a flashy background.
4) it has links to friends. Thirdly, it has a tagboard for people to bitch and chat about non-important stuff.
5) it has a background music of the most popular song on 9.87 or 9.33 that you can't turn off..
6) Quizzes.
7)And if the blogger is a cute young thing armed with a dangerous digicam, you can expect pictures of almost everything on the web. From her favourite clothes to what she ate for lunch to a closeup of herself looking into the camera to her and her girlfriends.
It's pretty easy to start a blog. Just have to go register somewhere, choose a template and write something. Guess the only difficulty to keeping a blog is to keep it up. I've seen it happen one too many times. Maybe some people just can't keep a blog. Notice another thing. Female bloggers generally write longer blogs entries than males. I don't know why. Too much pent up thoughts ? Biological difference?
Someone said blogging is a waste of time.He pities youths who indulge in their own virtual make-believe world.
Alice Walker, best known for her novel The Color Purple says:
"writing really helps you heal yourself. I think if you write long enough, you will be a healthy person. That is, if you write what you need to write, as opposed to what will make money or what will make fame."
I think Blogging give your inner thoughts a voice, reveals your hidden nature to others. And you can rant about anything you like and not give a hoot about anyone. In the blogging world, you are your own master. NO ONE can tell you what you can or cannot say.
