I definitely don't believe blogging is for everyone, but I like it. This post was about why I prefer to blog, so I’m unsure exactly what you disagree with.

It seems a bit silly to talk about 'democracy' and 'free speech' and all that. But, well... that's how I feel. What I don't like about blogs is the "daily news" experience of having only a day, or maybe a few hours, to think about something before its buried by the next post. Both as a reader and a writer I've felt rushed by blogs and blogging. I know some people put a "favourite posts" list in their sidebar - but usually just a title. I don't really expect an abstract, but it's gotta be a pretty great title to catch me eye. I've read journal articles from the 1950s. Can blog posts last? Should they? What if you write something really brilliant and important... where will it be in 5 years? Can of worms indeed! What I like most about blogs is the lack or middlemen (gatekeepers).

I had no idea I would like it this much. But I have been wondering if it would be good idea to start/join a peer-reviewed library blog. The idea would be that any library blogger could join, but his/her posts would not be published until reviewed by others. In this way, the blog would become a little more like a journal. Sort of like First Monday for library bloggers. What do you think? Karin, I agree with all your reasons for blogging. I had no idea I would like it this much.
