It connects the masses, it connects individuals who would never get to meet or even know of the others existence. A pharmacist in the States can read about the miseries and joys of a Junior Doctor in the United Kingdom. An artist can portray his life in words to us, and an everyday user can just rant on about his or her problems knowing that out of the billion people surfing the web atleast someone has read and sympathized with him. Some use blogs as an online journal, others use them as a source to output useful information, either way once the blog is online with articles ready to go it is part of “The Blog World”, an intricate online network of users and communities that go beyond just a website. It is like a Yahoo! chatroom only with a slower pacer, and instead of just chatting to the other users you know of a part of there everyday life. A part that even those who have physically know this person may not know of. When I first began to blog, around two months ago, it seemed like a pretty simple little idea to me and pretty pointless. Open a site and rant on and on about your everyday life that no one is going to read about unless you just found the cure for cancer, however, it is much more then that. A few weeks after blogging I noticed how well many bloggers knew each other. They could relate with each other on many issues and it was a virtual community. In most instances there was no online portal or forums connecting one blogger to another and unlike a website these bloggers did not compete with one another. I noticed that they would constantly link and refer to other blog throughout their posts. “The Blog World” is a online virtual world of everday people — doctors, soldiers, artists, designers, walmart clerks, and who knows whom else. Medilogy is just another new citizen of this large and complex world and I hope it can become a larger and more well-known part of “The Blog World”

And as a new blogger I must say it is pretty addicting. I don’t know if anyone even reads my posts and I’m certainly not getting any kind of capital from it, however, for some reason I still come to my blog everyday to see if there is a new comment or to think of new articles to post, and I don’t think anyone but another blogger knows of this feeling.
