Blogging together

For today's class assignment, we were told to look around at other blogs and blog about them. So when I sat down, I thought this assignment would be a piece of cake. But after searching around for hours, I couldn't find any inspiration. Blogs are all so different, about so many different things, that I just didn't know what to say. And then it came to me - that's the whole point!

If you are interested in collecting rocks, you can probably find at least 10 other people who line up their rocks according to color; If you're into analyzing historical events, I'm sure you can find thousands of others who share your passion. Blogs are a way of connecting people from all sorts of backgrounds and sewing together the sharp corners of the world. You can learn about different cultures and even make friends with people who are just getting up when you're headed off to sleep.

We all knew that the Internet would revolutionize the way we interact and connect with each other, but this whole idea of blogs has really stressed that point. It's never been easier to find
friends who share passions and ideas. And what's even greater is finding a new talent or new product that can inspire others - and with blogs, it's just a mouse click away.
