It stlarted with the "traditional" blogging. All you need to do is sign up with blogsites (such as Blogspot.com, Wordpress.com, Xanga.com etc.) and then voila! You're ready to start posting. =] I remember when it was all the rave in secondary school, whereby nearly everyone (including myself) had a personal blog. We could post just about anything and everything, from what kind of day we had, to what was our favourite song of the moment. Friends then could comment on each post, thus initiating discussion.

These days though, microblogging is the 'in' thing. Sites like Twitter are on the rise and are even used by celebrities to reach out to people quickly. Here's one example of Ellen Degeneres using Twitter:

Another interesting site for micro-blogging which I visit to kill time would be FMyLife.com.

Basically, people from all over the world can just microblog about something that happened to them on the website and readers and either click the "I agree your life sucks" or the "you totally deserve it" button as feedback. While this is not as interactive as Twitter is, it still proves to be an interesting read. =P

Taking blogging to the next level would the emergence of vlogging (video blogging). The popular video-sharing site Youtube houses many famous vloggers, and a few of my favourites would be KevJumba, communitychannel and NigaHiga. Through the medium of Youtube, these people are able to spread laughter, initiate discussion and even raise funds for charity, as in the case of Kevjumba who donates the money raised from viewership to various organisations.

The blog on the internet is everchanging, extending to far more than what I've mentioned here, making the blogging experience become more exciting and vibrant. However, despite the new avenues, I think I am still somewhat resistant. For example, even though I have a Twitter account, I have never actually twittered (if you add me I will follow you though, haha!) simply because there are too few people in my circle of friends who use Twitter actively. But with time and more people adopting the new platforms, who knows, I might just send out my first Twit very soon.=)

Hmmm....To end off this post, here's a funny video from NigaHiga. Enjoy!
