A BLOG IS BORN!


Thousands, if not millions, of blog is created and launched in cyberspace everyday. Much has been said about blogs. Try search for it and you’ll come up with millions of information about it. Articles written from the basic “What is a blog?”, “How to blog?”, “Blog your way to success!” to the most outrageous such as this post: “A BLOG IS BORN!”

Well, we need all the attention we can get in the vastness of cyberspace. Bloggers will have to vie for patronage. And we each have to carve a niche of our own to achieve whatever purpose it would serve, self-interest otherwise altruistic cause. Many blogs in its infancy may fade away in obscurity.

Technological advancement has allowed us to transcend restrictions and boundaries never before in our modern society. The dynamism of bloggers and the diversity in the blogging community ultimately defines “freedom of expression”. Every blog, whatever its purpose, is expression of thoughts and ideas. It is a tool for self-expression that has the power to create or destroy. It is upon each blogger to use this power responsibly.

The accessibility of this tool make possible for the wise as well as the fool, the ignorant and the learned, and practically anyone to be heard. It is not important that one has to make sense or try to be relevant. Everyone has a story to tell, fiction or real-life, thrilling or drab it may be. Everyone has something to say and each differing opinion has a value in the search for what is right. Thus, blog is a voice that ceases to be silent.

This blog, born today, is but another in cyberspace. It will not pretend to have grand scheme for humanity or solve the world’s problem. Neither it craves for fame, fortune nor influence; although it is not bad to achieve these, we’ll leave them to the more ambitious among us. It will not promise anything than to use the freedom of expression sensibly. It will not try to promote or sell ideas, or dissuade anyone from any issue, belief or way of life. Instead, it should be a portal for sharing and pondering thoughts. And hopefully, we could learn from one another.

Today is our maiden voyage. WELCOME let us journey together!
