Ultimate Las Vegas Smackdown – Technorati vs. Tall Skinny Kiwi

Started by goodwordediting · 9 months ago

Some folks do this crazy thing called LiveBlogging. I’m not into that. I like a little more time for reflection and processing. Like, you know, 12 hours or so. This morning, I’m thinking through the highlights of what I learned yesterday at BlogWorld and GodblogCon and ... Continue reading »

Love the gift economy idea. I'm an idealist - so I'm believing my blog (and anyone blogging with the intent to impact others for good) is worth millions, maybe even priceless. It's the gift of story and truth.

Publishing used to be really hard—in tv, radio, print, and even on the web. But industries change when it becomes much easier to use and much less expensive. New abilities are changing the way we blog as well—from comments to RSS feeds to all sorts of tools that help us connect. That’s the bottom line.

This is great information, Mark. I love blogging and I enjoy connecting with other writers who live far away, but sometimes I really wonder why we do it.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll never know.

"We blog to give ourselves away."

Doesn't that echo Someone Else who calls us to lose our life, take up our Cross, become a living sacrifice?

This deeply resonates for me...

Thank you, Marcus... Keep picking up your poems and sharing your finds with the world. God uses them for eternal purposes.

And I mean that.

I realize some people may make money at blogging -- but then you stand the chance of your joy of expression being bastardized for the sake of lucre.

Its something we should all be careful to avoid the temptation to go the wrong way

Monica, the gift economy thing is really important to me too.

Merrie, if you figure it out, let me know. I think more and more I do it on compulsion. Is that bad?

Ann, thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes publishing poetry here feels like an odd thing to do.

David, it was INCREDIBLY great to hang out in Vegas.
