Yesterday I wrote my first posting, but the more I wrote, the more I realised it was never meant to be published. I was venting my thoughts on the type of person who might want a blog.
One of the problems of the internet is information overload and blogs are further culprits to take time and effort in reading. Of course if time is spent reading one thing, other items are automatically excluded (just by time).
In the end I decided that a blog might be more subtle than a narcissistic maverick posting their diary in a bottle to float in the e-ther until washed up on a surfers desktop. I realised that it can be a way of influencing people. It was potentially subversive. Moreover it could be used in an educational context to carry ideas, convey concepts, persuade people to an argument. What I want to explore over future weeks.
