Technorati: Little Letters to Everyone
So it's time to blog about Technorati: the international capital of blogs! Well I could say it has a lot of blogs. I could also comment on those listed as the most popular. I was certainly surprised by what people are reading. The blend of popular culture and techno talk must certainly say something about 21st century society. More interesting though is the way most blogs are written. As I read the thing that strikes me most is not the content but the tone. Nobody writes a personal letter these days, but I think the tradition has been reborn in the personal blog. As I skip from one blog to the next (especially those that aren’t technology oriented), I can't help but notice the personal style in which they are written. To me they are like little letters to everyone. It seems to be a very human thing to want to write down your thoughts and send them to someone. Does it make us feel more connected? Or is it just a way of getting something off your chest? I think that probably depends on whether you are an introvert or an extravert. Who knows? What does this blog say about me? What I am sure of is that something new may also be something old.
