My blog is worth $38,953.26.
How much is your blog worth?
I just realized that
this past Saturday was my 3 month anniversary here on Vox. As you can probably tell I've not blogged very long. I did all of 20 or so posts during the month of Oct 2006 on my other personal blog before I jumped ship for Vox. I dig the level of interaction here on Vox so I don't think that I would ever completely stop posting here. I really hope that the Vox/6A people realize that the social networking aspects of Vox are what make this place hum. The 'secret sauce' for Vox is not the pretty bells and whistles that we have here rather it is the frictionless interaction of the Vox users. Without the people providing all of the content for their clique to view then there would be no viable model for Vox.
I think that I want
to spread out a little more and focus on one or two niche areas that do not lend themselves well to a personal blog. My Vox is personal. Obviously, if I dump 3 or 4 posts somewhere else then that takes away from my personal thing here at Vox. That is probably a good thing as it would cut out most of the low quality posts that I have on here now.
A couple ideas that I've been thinking about:
No holds barred blogging about Indianapolis/Central Indiana - enjoyindy.com
Second Life 24 Hour News Blog - I have an undisclosed domain for this as well. I guess I'd have to learn how be a part of this Second Life thing though.... might be too much of a time investment. Might need an investor so that I could pay some 'reporters' that know how to navigate that thing.
A parody blog that is a satirized composite of the 'power blogs' on the web. Undisclosed domain name.
Anyway, just some Tuesday night ramblings fer ya'.
Well here I am, two
weeks and 56 posts later. I have tried to blog on a couple of occasions before but that never lasted past 3 or 4 posts or a few days. Vox must have done something right because I seem to pop-a-post a few times each day.
I enjoy Vox and the
semi-social interaction with my virtual neighborhood. Perhaps, I'm getting something here that I should be seeking from the real world? I don't know. I do know that I plan to continue posting for awhile. My goal is to make it through November while staying active. No matter how further dysfunctional Vox enables me to become, if I walk away from my Vox experience with a couple friends then it will have been worth it.
I haven't really exposed
myself yet - maybe that is next. Maybe not. The Wife casts a weary eye from her end of the sofa at my MacBook... questions such as "what are you doing now", "what do you write about", and "can I read it" are now a daily occurrence. I want this to stay private - although each day that goes by I post more identifiable info about myself... maybe I want her to read this? Maybe I want her to see a side of me (albeit virtual) that I am unable to communicate in the flesh?
Just maybe I'm a huge dork?
Oh, and one more
thing. I hate the word 'blogger' - I am not a blogger, rather I am a voxer. What's the difference? I don't know but when I do I'll be sure to let my Vox neighborhood know.
Cheers to my Vox neighborhood!
