First, Gmail and Gchat. Then Facebook. Then Twitter. Now Blog. Natural
progression?
 
I'm not too sure about the first two. But I think that there is some
relationship between joining Twitter and starting this blog. I'm an
active Facebook user, but still weary of it and skeptical of the value
it adds to my life. Kevin was using Twitter before he joined Facebook
and I am just now understanding the advantages that Twitter offers
over Facebook. These advantages (viewable without signing up, not
automatically following followers, more potential to offer thoughts
and information, etc.) are what make Twitter attractive to me and what
got me thinking about blogging.
 
Why start a blog? Sometimes 140 characters just aren't enough. I love
writing. My parents are much more likely to read my blog than search
for my tweets, follow me on Twitter, or friend me on Facebook (listed
in decreasing order with respect to likelihood). To share what I'm
thinking about things I'm reading, observing, or contemplating with
those that are interested.
 
So here I am. I'll try to keep it interesting.
