Unimportant Blogs

“While we have over 130,000 Indonesian blogs; most of the traffic are occupied by useless unimportant topics”—a fellow blogger said.

Doesn’t that statment feels like a disembowelment of our overconfident ego? But my gut says it’s true. :(

I am not going to delve into whats important and whats not. But if we dreamt of blogs replacing conventional media, we should start pruning well-written blogs on big-issue matters. This responsibility are twofolds, frankly.

See, having tonnes of good blogs on important subjects is, however, not enough. Good big-issue blogs needs good readers who are smart and concerned on the subject matters. If blog readers is still incapable to give proper comment on serious blogs like ndorokakung.com and priyadi.net, those great blogs we wish to have will be pretty much useless.

    man, i just don’t agree with blog being so serious…..
    firstly blog was invented to express it’s owner feeling….not to be politicize like that…..
    Please bring back the nature of blogging

  3. Dont get me wrong. I didn’t say that we dont need non-serious blog. Heck, my primary blog is highly non-serious. If people are blogging just to have fun, make friends, and get a good laugh then do participate on that kind of blogs; I’m not complaining, I am very excited in fact.

    My statement above is in the context of “making blogs in par with MSM.” If we would like blogs to be a threat to conventional media, it should posses the good characteristics of MSM.

    That’s right..
    I notice that most of the comments in ndorokakung.com have very little to do with the essence of the posting. It doesn’t lead to a discussion. Not that it has to or anything but I think it’ll be great.

    Masih sedikit, orang Indonesia yang ngeh, kalo blog bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai media alternatif, untuk bentuk jurnalistik baru, yang diperkirakan bakal berkembang pesat dalam 10 tahun ke depan : citizen journalism. Termasuk anak komunikasi macam saya ini :|

    jadi dapet ide untuk topik BAB 1 metode penelitian komunikasi saya semester ini :)

    So, bikin blog di sini juga ternyata? Haha :)

  8. Banning “useless” comment is not necessary, “useless” comments are future potential “good” comments. You should not remove their existence. Instead, push it invisible via some sort of vetting mechanism.

    Good and smart reader is not what you really need. What you really need is care reader which really paying attention to what you write though he/she may not be able to submit comment due to some limitance

    okay, okay, just ignore above paragraphs :p

    If you want to be a real threat to MSM, make a blog network.

    Anyway, what’re exactly good characteristics of MSM you are referring to?

  23. Hey there guys,
    I’m looking at choosing a Bluetooth wireless mouse for my new macbook to use when I’m busy with all applications.

    Although I think trackpad isn’t bad, I felt my fingers get a bit sweaty on hot days and it sometimes gets some unwanted friction.

    I would like to have a USB ports free mouse. Do you have some of this idea?

  24. fleexyRer says:

    I want to get a few of AVI files off of my computer and arrange them onto a disk which I could watch through a DVD player. I have a DVD burner and blank DVD disks. The issue is… I don’t own a program to let me place the files *onto* the disk. I’ve been searching for a long time for a software that allows me do this, but all of the free trials are… let’s say… *not* especially good. I would not pay for any convert avi to dvd that I need to pay for.

    Any help? Thank you.
