Every time a person asks me about blogging I tell them to look for an official definition of it and its properties. But trying to stuck to its definition, do not clarify the idea and a spirit of blogging. Eric Schmidt tried to give his understanding of “Blogging”:

This notion of self-publishing, which is what Blogger and blogging are really about, is the next big wave of human communication. The last big wave was Web activity. Before that one it was e-mail. Instant messaging was an extension of e-mail.

Tracking the news, your thoughts, sharing the ideas, promoting your projects – it has become easier with blogging.
Alright, now I think it’s enough of loud words describing blogging, I’d better write what it is for me.

Blogging is:

• Professional Experience Exchange
• Entertainment
• Huge Media Source
• Satisfaction of my “graphorrhea” disease.

Later on, I’ll add also few bullets like: web design testing, web programming, – but still this blog will remain the place of entertainment for its author and for you readers!

If you have something to say about what’s “blogging” for you, join Cyprus Blog Network and take part in Wednesday topic contest. We always have something to tell.
