Blogging Boring? Well, sure it is, if your blog has no purpose and you don't enjoy writing regularly. If it's a chore, why blog? I have three blogs. One is private, two are public. Of the public blogs, one -- on all things popular culture and media -- is fun to write, since it relates to things I encounter daily. Blogging has helped me improve my writing and research skills. Thanks to blogs, I read more now and I have more interesting things to talk about with more people. Will blogging last? Who cares? For now, I'm enjoying every minute of it.

A teenage writer deciding that most of the communication of their peers is boring is nothing new. I held a very similar opinion 20 years ago when I was in school, and all we had back then was regular landline phones. It's too bad he decided to attach the entire concept of blogging to his irritation with his peers.

I think for people who write regularly and who write well, blogging is great. It's the same essentially as keeping a diary or running a regular column. With people willing to share their true experiences and insights, you usually get interesting content.

I wouldn't think that most teenagers on a community site would blog about all that much, or blog about anything all that deep. They're just messing around. As with all writing, it has to have a purpose, be it to inform, entertain, document or act as some sort of catharsis for the writer.

I keep a blog myself, but as its content is limited to my participation in the SF leather community, I can't share the link with you here. Suffice to say, between 80 and 100 total strangers read each entry I write and seem to enjoy reading about my life and thoughts.

I too blog on my own site, it's the substitiute for the physical diary I stopped keeping in grade school....sides it's MUCH easier to read. I go back and read my old entries and see how much I have grown and far Ive come in regards to my relationships with others, peers, family and lovers. I have about 40 or so regulars who read my witicisms and gripes with the world, be they typos in published material or religion/politics.

I too adore my blog, I've been writing in it for over 3 years. I thought the article was an interesting perspective of "the other side" though!
