All scotts, all the time!<BR/><BR/>I sort of became slowly immersed into the blogosphere about three years ago, even as I made fun of the whole blogging trend. At first, I had purposely avoided them when the term was gaining steam in 2001-2003 -- they were all the rage at library conferences I attended, which is probably one of the reasons I was avoiding them. But in the last three years, I've really come to love the open dialogue that exists -- you can get comments on a subject from people from so many backgrounds. I've developed blog relationships with people that I'd never have a chance of meeting in real life. People from all over the world with such a diverse range of thoughts and beliefs. A lot of really smart, really interesting people -- that I'll admittedly most likely never ever meet.<BR/><BR/>And all of that takes place in a little comment box, a forum where anyone can remark on what you write about. It's such a simple concept, yet a great tool for that "coffeehouse public discourse." And people can be themselves, or they can be anonymous. They can use logical arguments, or they can just troll to get a rise out of people.<BR/><BR/>For someone like me, someone that likes to write, likes to converse, and likes to occasionally argue, it's perfect. Because what fun is that "divine conversation" if it's only occuring between people with a similar mindset?scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407035513346395310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294512992029030179.post-866240832950660192008-01-06T23:28:00.000-06:002008-01-06T23:28:00.000-06:00I came here from Robo's blog.I shouldn't have come...I came here from Robo's blog.<BR/><BR/>I shouldn't have come so late at night, though... <BR/>Because there are SO MANY SYLLABLES in these words.
