Geek Chic, Blogging and Me
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009Some of you may have noticed I’ve been posting a lot less lately. It’s true. I have. It’s because I’m more than a little bit confused about the blogging.
I originally created Geek Chic primarily as a way to share things I thought were cool. Usually snagged from my daily trolling of the internet, I’d post a few gems that caught my eye. Call it re-blogging, call it regurgitating. Call it whatever you’d like. I saw it as an electronic way of curating and sharing a collection of things I thought more people should see.
With the advent of Twitter, the evolution of Facebook and now the more social integration points of Google Reader (my primary means of ingestion / procrastination), there seem to be more and more ways to share things you think are cool with the rest of the world. And it’s becoming easier and easier — for example with Google Reader, all I have to do is click one button and I can share a post I think is interesting. Clicking another button, I can instantly post a link to Twitter or Facebook. Done.
So the question arises, what good is this blog?
