Blogging for Blogging's Sake

I just want to jump back a couple of blog posts first of all to thank Matt for my Globehead experience, it was truly memorable – possibly the most annoying flash site ever and yet I feel strangely fond of it now.

So back to today and my musings…I have read lots of other blogs recently about the phenomenon of blogging itself and whether you should blog for blog’s sake, or not?

I’ve since actually spent a few days thinking about whether you should blog only when you have something to say or whether you should think of something to say to blog. What a dilemma!

A lot of the time people blog for SEO purposes but I think the most interesting blogs really are those that are written to express an opinion or thought about something. Writing something for the sake of it usually sounds contrived and unnatural – unless you are an exceptionally gifted writer I suppose. For the rest of us minions it is surely better to wait and write naturally or just write nothing at all.

Luckily I don’t have to worry too much about this blog as Matt is brilliant at posting interesting little snippets – mostly useless – but loads of fun!! And now you can even watch him work (or not) by watching our webcam.

So while I haven’t got anything to say I’ll just sign off and leave you with Big Bro.
