What’s Good? – want a second opinion?

Filed under: Blogging,Thoughts — dnw @ 2:42 pm

As to this, quoted from a post of Kent‘s :

“As an aside, are there any bad blogs in Australia?”

Define ‘Bad’… or ‘Good’ for that matter.

This is what’s great about the blogosphere – you just ‘voice’ what you want and leave the ‘listeners’ to decide what’s good and bad FOR THEM – in the context they live in. (There’s a simile that comes to mind around access to built environment and disability, but that’s another post).

To say if you want more readers write better stuff seems a bit silly. How do I know what constitute’s better for a given ‘listener’? (Though yes, I know Hugh, you’re talking about expressing from your soul and writing what’s better for yourself)

The point Mike and I’m trying to make is not that we want a ‘hierarcy-killer’ but we want to be able to find what’s good (precious, the Jewels) for us. In some ways the ‘heirarchy’ can even play a part to help that.

  1. Great post and great podcast.

    The basis for my aside is the sense I have that Australian bloggers really get it. You can’t tell from reading a name where someone is from, but it seems like every time I start reading a new blog that I like it ends up being done by somebody from Australia.

    I don’t think I’ve seen a bad blog from Australia yet, but surely there must be some :)

    Let me know when the next podcast is up!

  2. How do you know? You don’t. You just do it anyway.
