A TV.com blog resembles a "proper" blog about as closely as a bouncy castle resembles a medieval one. And as much fun as these "toy" blogs are, they do lack cornerstone features – like a proper categorised Table of Contents and trackback (Grrr!). But would you approach blogging any differently if you had—or were still using—a WordPress blog or Myspace page? I ask this because, prompted by Kristine Lowe*, I've been pondering "What it means to be a blogger" and "What blogging is". My tenuous conclusion (no doubt to much mirth in Web 2.0 circles) is that a blog is simply ones on-line home (or office). I went further and suggested a blog is like a "face": the place on the web that allows you to stop lurking and start speaking, interacting, and being admired (or hated) by others. But hey, I'm feeling zapped and am short of a blog this week, so I'll throw open the floor. Thoughts? Ideas? Answers? Send them on a postcard, if you've cracked my identity; else post them in the usual space. * No, I don't know who she is, either – but that's never stopped me before.
