The essence of blog

Haha...This is my 301th blog entry. Feel pretty proud of myself. Normally, my attention span for newbies would not last that long haha..
So let's talk something special then.

The idea of blog.

The definition under the "Online Oxford Dictionary" 's "The Oxford's Dictionary of Modern Slang" states this:

blog noun An Internet website containing an eclectic and frequently updated assortment of items of interest to its author. 1999-. [Shortening of weblog.] So blogger, noun.

Yeah..
Then there are a variety of blogs including political blogs, news blogs, corporate blogs, moblogs and personal blogs.
I definitely duno which category my blog falls into?

Hate blog?

Rant blog?

cobwebby blog (coz I had the tendency of not updating)?

To me, blog is not just a personal blog. It is more like a column in the mass web of internet.
Bloggers are the columnists. They wrote stuff that people want to read. Quirky, porn, sweet, juicy...different aspects of life with different perspectives.
I love to read blogs. That's for sure.
Get to know different aspects of lives.
hehe..
But......
I got worked up after I heard that there is a competition for the Most popular Blogs award.
Yeah online.
Several local blogs are in it.
But the way they compete is quite ugly.
Vote-rigging.
Vote hacking.
Variety of vote mobilisation.
Blogging for the sake of blogging and vote mobilisation

What has the world of blogs come too?

Seems to me like a political arena!

haha....no longer pure pleasure of reading blogs. Now you have the "American Idol " syndrome spreading like wild fire to different parts of our lives.

EEEKS!

It is definitely a turn-off sia!

Aiya.....

Blogs continue to evolve..
Duno what will happen to it then!
