Blog days are over...

I must admit, when we were asked to start blogging in our e-business class, I cringed a little inside.  I never liked the idea of an online journal for everyone to read.  I feel that a blog is just a platform for people to vent.  It is a little embarrassing having all your thoughts and feelings out there for everyone to read.  Although, on the other hand, it is kind of interesting to read the blog posts of my friends and classmates, to see what their opinion is on certain matters.

This year especially, I have become brainwashed into continuously thinking of ways a company can market themselves and its goods or services offered.  I suppose some companies could use the blogging world to spread their awareness, as it is cheap, easy, and search-engine friendly.  However, with competition of big players such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, can a blog really compete?

Funny story about my blogging experience.... The other day while I was writing my blog about the online adult industry, I figured I would google the term to try and get some images to spruce up my blog.  To my utter disbelief, an image of a very good friend and classmate popped up.  Immediately I burst out laughing and called all the girls over to see my new discovery.  Was our dear friend pursuing a secret life in the porn industry?!?!  I soon realised that the image simply came up because she had a blog title under the same words.  Still, made me laugh.

For our assignment, we had to write three blog posts on any topic of our choice.  This proved to be the hardest, as I mulled over what would be something interesting to talk about.  With all the college stress on my mind, all I wanted to do was bitch and moan about all the assignments I had and the stress I was under. I'm sure noone wants to hear a fourth year complain about how tough it is. 

I think after all of this, my blogging days are over and I won't be an avid blogger.  If I need to get my stress out I will stick to the traditional journal and pen, at least that way the whole world can read it!!  This brings Florence and the Machines "Dog Days are Over" to mind.. simply change the word 'dog' to 'blog'.

 

Anywho, thanks to everyone who came to check out my blog (or no thanks, as now I'm cringing even more).  Toodaloo :)
