Firing for Effect - Buzz word Blogging

The act of posting for reaction rather than satisfaction

Published on March 11, 2004 By Dynosoar In Blogging

I confess.

I am guilty.

I came to create this blog for an outlet, to think out loud, to comment on my daily life, but then I saw
my points were low, and my readership as well, so
I fell into the instigation syndrone, prompting an overall stimulating debate, however
it's just not really my style.
I emulated, if not, imitated, the style of several great bloggers here at JU,
Oh my facts and representations are true, I do not retract a single statement made, or position taken, but
I think I'll reserve my social and political comments for just that, comments on other blogs.

Now if you want to discover the wonderful world of an over 40 ( barely ), father of 5, and the trials and tribulations
that come from breathing ( again barely ) please do me the honor of occassionally posting a response.

I'll still enter the fray , commenting on whatever I feel informed enough to discuss, just not originating from here.....

My sincere appologies to any who may feel slighted, I find that it's just too much work to facilitate a debate, and it's more work than entertainment....

Yes, I've just now hit that stage where the points become seductive I think it's a period most JoeUsers will experience. At some level the Point System encourages it.

Become a celebrity, and then you can talk about the mundane and people will be "interested".

smartaz,

sweet seduction, like fooling myself into thinking what I say matters.
I like the Poets idea, sorta like Sir Pete !!
I hereby proclaim myself infamous.

lol and me also... Let's all be famous! Yay!

Honestly though, the best idea is to just stay consistant. If you stay here, people will give credit where credit is due.

Actually to become famous you have to be provocative--to stay that way you probably have to continue to be. However I think that you could get a following by just writing well about things that are interesting. So go for it.

Actually

well, I can hardly argue with a statement like that..
