I get the feeling that "blogger" is a word that people throw around without having a fully formed idea attached to it, which makes me hesitate to assign or challenge the term. Do you see blogging as a genre, or a performance? A person can write a poem and be a poet without sharing the work (although perhaps not a poet whose writing is "valid"), but a person can't be a slam poet without performing in slam competitions because otherwise you're just a poet with work that could be used in slams. I guess I am just thinking outloud.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039334681550424159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882328134301302910.post-66360373201583510422009-05-03T09:41:00.000-04:002009-05-03T09:41:00.000-04:00Cindy (god I hate how Blogger doesn't have nested ...Cindy (god I hate how Blogger doesn't have nested comments), Cindy, I think someone is a "blogger" if they are sharing information in some kind of regularly updated format that is useful or entertaining to an audience that could range from tiny to massive. Lots of people think they're blogging, but they're really just writing into a void, and this could easily be accomplished with a paper diary. I think blogging implies a community, or at least a give and take in reading and responding. That's what I think anyway.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04719097180277137070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882328134301302910.post-10503072914011648292009-05-03T04:32:00.000-04:002009-05-03T04:32:00.000-04:00I love LJ as well, although it's not classy.

What I get from LJ is all the friends-only and custom feed choices along with an anonymity that would not be well-served on more legitimate blogging spaces. But I don't think my LJ journaling makes me a bonafide blogger. When do you think someone becomes a "blogger"?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039334681550424159noreply@blogger.com
