My Blogging Experience

I have got several years not blogging since the appear of Facebook. Before time, I used to do the blogging in Xanga (I think a lot of youngster must be very familar with it too) to share my everyday life and feeling, only friends who have subscribe me can read my posts. Actually I kinda miss that time because those subscribers and who I subscribe are all my good and close friends. Reading others posts is fun and enjoyable because they are actually posting long passage of diary or review or feeling. But somehow it cannot be found in Facebook again I think. Facebook has too much unwanted information actually, though some updates you might really wanna see. But I bet sometimes you might not see hundreds of friends' update which most of them you dont wanna see. So, really thanks this time of blogging that makes me memorize the time we blog before.

Actually I like blogging but unfortunately I really get little time to spend on it after entering the university. Unlike Facebook which just post a simple status stating the moment you thought or share photos and video, everything is just for the moment, blogging is kind of writing and sharing. Apart from writing dairy online, you can share your view on everything. For me, blogging is also a way to build one identity through one's profile and writing content. We can decide what to be shown like profile picture,personal information and the design of blog layout. As a result, personality can be shown. On the other hand, we post our life, our feeling and our comments/critics towards anything we interested in the world. Readers can know more about your life and personal views thru the articles. An identity incoporeally built in the online world.

In this academic blogging experience, I learnt how to do research on internet thru searching engine and hyperlinking to different websites to get more informarion and opinions from other internet users. Of course, gain a lot of knowledge and bonus news and information thru hyperlinking. LOL. Besides, during blogging I can learn how to represent things multimodally such as present information with other elemests like graphics, video, sound to draw readers' attention and have more immediate effect. However, the biggest part I have learnt is from interactivity with other bloggers. Blogging is really a good place to exchange knowledge and know one's point of view. I absorb a lot of knowledge from others' writing which not restricting the thing I wrote. For example, I also understand how Antony's view on Facebook and how Joanne defense on online reading which some I have never thought of. Of course, I do have my comments on related issues. In this stage, commenting, participating and exchanging of knowledge are reached.

Here are the comments I have made :)
