Blogging Community

After scrolling through and spending no more than 96 seconds on each of the interviews :), I decided to read Tiffany B. Brown’s story. What caught my attention, I guess, was not only one of her last questions, where asked Mac or PC she replied: “I'm bi-OS-ual.” As a first time blogger I tried to find more serious similarities to her and see why blogging would interest me. Tiffany started blogging on her own website while she worked as a producer for Cox Interactive Media. Since I’m also majoring in IMS, what got my attention was that blogging in general is a great self-promotional tool. To this day I considered it to be more like a self-expressional tool. Tiffany stated that she would get 400 to 600 page views per day. This is how self-expression becomes self promotion. I remember having my own website to post my pictures and write updates for my friends overseas (Mirc wasn’t that attractive). I was not aware that I was blogging back then, if I would have, maybe I wouldn’t just keep it limited to private viewers. In Tiffany’s words “never underestimate the power of comments and community.” So, I guess I'll have to join the "Bloger's Community."
