Bloggers are not journalists and nobody cares about bloggers' writings.
Also: moleskines sucks and we waste our time ;)
I was reading a conversation on Moleskineries this morning and I came across a post, from an anonymous writer that wrote:
-----

2. Bloggers are not journalists
3. Repeat 2. 16,789 times
4. Nobody cares what bloggers write
I feel sorry for your wasted time.

This is a really funny post. First, I think that people don't understand or just didn't want to. Some seem to fear the new communication medium that are blogs. They don't understand their implications their popularity. Blogging seem to be implemented in the news system and would probably not go. The interaction between blogs and traditional news networks had begun some years ago; the interactions became more and more important. Blogs use traditional Medias to discuss the world's situation and traditional Medias use blogs to discuss the world's situation. Is that bad? Certainly not. But it can be a fearful situation for someone that work in traditional Medias and that want to keep is job or that didn't like change. Sorry to disappoint you but they are there and will not disappear tomorrow.
Personally I blog for myself otherwise I would not blog. You think that the 1.5 million of MSN space bloggers are writers? I don't think so. They do this for them, for their friends and family. There are writers who blog; there are journalist who blog; there are CEO who blog; there are also normal person who blog. Anybody can blog, it's the beauty of blogging; it's probably one of the best free speech medium. Go check Iranian blogs or Iraqi blogs; you’ll understand what I say.
