“I think it’s a wonderful window into people’s thoughts” History_Pig

On January third History_Pig wrote a philosophical entry about how blogging has begun to fill the fellowship and community role of church for him. If you follow his blog, you will see he’s built quite a congregation for himself.
The internet and email seemed to hold this promise for personal communication. The ability to connect so quickly and so universally across the globe would bring forth a revolution in the art of correspondence. What it did was bring about AIM speak, bizzare abbreviation, flames, spam, and forwarding jokes around the planet without a word of comment or greeting. Talk about your vast wasteland. The information super-highway is cluttered with roadside garbage.
And then there’s here. Come to Xanga for laughs, art, advice, new perspectives, tears and ordinance (History_Pig’s New Year’s Eve Blast). The internet makes it so easy for anyone to publish to a huge audience, it’s a dream come true for the closet writer set. So you start publishing your blog and you get responses. “This is cool.” And now you have a readership. And you feel some responsibility to supply fresh material and to not bore them silly. You become accountable. It’s no longer enough to sit in the rocker and say, “that’s something that might make an essay or story.” You need to perform.
Then you realize that no one comes to see you unless you go out and visit them and leave your tracks. So you participate. And you learn different perspectives. And now you have a community. And your brain is working. And you are writing.
