After quite a few years of watching the new "hip" online way of communicating and expressing yourself i've finally decided to join the club. Having started what seems now aeons ago with bulletin board systems in the 80s blogging seems to have established itself as the continuation of what has a long history of online communication.
I remember back when i started reaching out using my 14.4k modem using BBS, Usenet and Fido (http://www.fidonet.org/) things were in many ways already similar to what we have today. Be it news boards on locate BBS's, newsgroups or anything else the same rules still apply today as they did back then: People want to communicate and share information. And not much has changed, just the media and the format, but the principles still hold true.
And other things are still valid as well. Finding specific information is still not as easy as one would like to believe it should be. But i think thats just inherent in the way we humans communicate in general. We aren't "designed" to be perfect in that sense, and that reflects in our various forms of communication as well (beginning with languages itself!).
But enough babling for now. More useful content later.
