With blogging becoming all the rage and much discussion of its impact of news gathering, editorializing, etc., it brings up a few questions.....very important questions.....
1) How do you know who is really typing this entry into this blog?
2) How do you know for sure the same person has typed every entry under the name on the blog that claims to be the author of the blog?
3) How do you know that every post I've ever written were fictitional?
4) If a blog fell down in the forest, and no one was there to hear it, would it still create a stir among the mainstream media?
Okay, question four's a bit of a stretch, but, think about it.....
The first three questions are incredibly important, and as I blog around and check out others creations, I wonder exactly how much can be taken for face value.
The great thing about blogs: I can tell my story for the whole world to hear. No better way ever created to stay in touch.
The thing about blogs to worry us: Where do we find proof of credibility, integrity, and accountability?
And, in closing, one final thought....putting all these thoughts and queries together, is blogging any different than anything else in life?
Stink. That's enough philosophy.....:)
