  • It's about blogging again..

    Finally I updated my blog. I'm pretty busy lazy now, mainly because of issues of learning in the university (lots of "pointless" objects, too hard to understand when you are lazy (you see, laziness causes laziness. It's awful). I even begin to doubt that I chose right profession . If I have to learn 5 kinds of Math to became a programmer, I'd rather prefer to be CG specialist or to learn English or Japanese to become a translator and work via web) and because I feel some kind of uncertainty: can't decide which anime I should watch first, where to download what I want (Lovedol+live Gekisou) and, especially, what the hell is going on. Lol.
    But well, I gained access to my blog and it means that you should prepare yourself to read some of my strange ramblings again ;)

    After reading some blogs I thought: what is the point in blog creating and how often usually people write new entries?
    I prefer to split all the blogs into 3 categories:
    1. Somebody's blogs are positioned as almost official sites about smth/smbd, like Seiyuu3 or Hashihime. So owners have to write on a regular basis because of their status and amount of people reading them and waiting for new information. Lets call such blogs "informational". The reason of creating them is the same as for creating some (fan)sites.
    2. The other blogs are blogs for communication. People create them to chat with a lot of friends (not my case though =_="), discuss their interests and so on. But sometimes such blogs grow into something even more epic than blogs from the 1st category (j1m0ne?) The rate of writing new entries varies from 2-3 entries per day to 1 entry per week and less. Often such blogs are into blogosphere with the constant staff and it's kinda difficult for somebody new to all this - to join this blogosphere. Just because nobody knows about such a newbie. It's interesting, how to join such closed groups of blogs..
    3. And the third type: "lone" blogs. Their authors almost don't have any friends on web, there's nobody except for authors themselves reading such blogs. These blogs are very similar to real paper diaries with the same purpose. How often new entries are written totally depends on the author's will.

    Seems like my blog still is in this state - I have no need to write regularly (though I think I will try to write new entries every weekend) but it's almost obvious that nobody but me will read it.

    My opinion: Most of the blog owners are hikikomori. Somebody more, somebody less, but if you create diary you are lone. Your friends are on-line friends. You feel yourself good only when you are using web and communicate with the certain people, who are hikikomori just like you are.
    And yes, I'm hikikomori too, though I don't see anything very bad in being one of them. I don't give you explanation of what it is or link just because I dislike the way this word is usually described.

    As for me I’d prefer to belong to the second group of bloggers (the first is too difficult and the last is pretty boring); at the other side I don't like to be forced to write something regularly.. but if you want something you should pay for it, right? Quite interesting how would my blog raise up if at all.
