So I am blogging again, let’s call this my Blogging 2.0 era. I borrowed this term from the buzzword Web2.0. According to Wikipedia, Web2.0 means this (among several interpretations, I like this one the best)
a marketing term to differentiate new web businesses from those of the dot com boom, which due to the bust now seem discredited.
I stopped blogging because 1. I gradually lost interest in expressing myself and 2. Each blog entry took almost two to three hours of my time – I figured out that’s too much.
For the first reason, it turned out that I lost interest in a lot of things besides learning Chinese, throughout last year. Recently my natural curiosity seems to be coming back. More about this later.
For the second reason – well without any family member to support I wouldn’t sacrifice much by deducting three hours after work. It is just plain laziness.
I want to express myself and hopefully I might find some audience who are looking for some site to kill their idle time. Another thing – to polish my technical writing skill (if you want to make it sound politically correct, technical communication is handy. It is obscure, fancy, and futuristic). However I am not sure if technical writing/communicating is about writing. I will blog about this later.
Two blogs inspired the urge to write again.
