Blogocracy!

"I posted my blog, that's fine. But who's gonna read it??"Yes, that's precisely the question. I have made it a point to spend about 45 minutes of my precious professional time on writing my blog. But this site, and no blogging site, for that matter does not claim to be maintaining a public directory of blogs, where you could search blogs by kyewords, or by spirit, or by the nationality of the poster. Instead, what you have to do is to pass on the URL of youre blog to your friends and hope with your fingers crossed that they read those blogs. Inevitably, you will end up incorporating elements from you private life into the blog and then who knows, the blog hogs the peace out of your life.

So, this model means that no stranger in the world would read my blogs, unless my blog appears on the "hot blogs of the day" list on blogger.com. I beg to argue that it should be the popularity of the blog, measured by the number of people who read it, and not the discretion of the site administrator that decides which blogs are to displayed to the blog-surfer. Cos if the bloger sys-ad has his way, he would be single-handedly responsible to stop me from becoming the greatest celebrity blogger in the world. I will take up that challenge pal!!!

My arguement fails if there is a great deal of literary quality associated with the blogs that make it to the featured blogs section. Its my honest opinion, that is not the case. I have been and will remain humble and unassuming all my life, except when I am under the internet cloud of anonymity.

So, bloggers of the world, do support me on my march towards a blogocracy!

Define:Blogs

wonder what blogs are ? and what makes them so popular? isn't it rational to assume that why would a rational person want to know about the life of a not so rational person?? i have heard blogs make interesting reading. But I wonder if this interest transcends cultural, national and societal boundaries. This plain simple means that a blog-reader would be only interested in the blogs of people who are roughly like him.

But there is one interesting utility of blogs that one can think of. It helps you learn from others mistakes, but again I wonder how many people actually post blogs about what did they wrong?? that's dated, all of us gen-x youths will say. Or else, may be it helps give vents to one's thoughts with the "fluid" directed twowards no particular audience, one does not have to , like in a public speech or address , try very hard to hold on to the audience's attention as the audience who "take seats" in the virtual auditorium are by default interested.

I guess a lot many people use blogs to show their authority of literature and impress the opposite ( or same, for the elite few) sex. Some do it just because they have established blog-friendships that starts kind of a healthy competition between rival bloggers. There could be more weird reasons to write blogs, as I am writing this one just because someone told me that if i write one, I will get the much sought after invitation to exclusive gmail membership. Picking up from a radio mirchi ad, KV, you are telling the truth na :)

so that was my first little blog! I hope it makes interesting reading for some netizens. And sometimes in my dreams , I hope to become a writer. May the first seeds be sown proper... ahem!!!
