Maybe I'll Try an Experiment ...
After being on a handful of sites the past couple of years, lately I've been joining a lot of different networking sites. I even got a Blogger login so I could comment on my cousin's site, though not a blog there.
I'm starting to wonder what I'm going to do with all these. Most of these sites I'm mainly just interested in promoting my other blogs such as AeroGo or else just general networking. I don't feel like bothering with listing them all tonight but maybe I will later. I guess the most popular site I've added is Facebook, since they're getting a lot of great press over the f8 upgrade, but so far it doesn't seem to me like a very attractive blogging site; maybe I'm just not familiar enough with it.
After half a year or so I still find myself with no inspiration to write on my MySpace site, which I got mainly just because everyone else has one (though there is some interesting stuff, kind of like at a garage sale where you've got to wade through a lot of junk to find it).
On the other hand, LiveJournal clearly appears to be one of the best-designed blogging sites, so I'm thinking I really ought to do something with it, I guess. LJ, while not all that visually appealing, seems to have the best mix of capable blogging and social networking features.
There are several topics I still want to start blogs on, besides those I've already got underway. I've been toying with the idea of writing about entrepreneurship on my personal blog, but that's on MS Live Spaces and I'm having a lot of trouble with that (I use a Mac). I also want to start a blog about what it's like to do research, but I'm pretty sure I want that on my hosted site (http://www.flightdev.com), which is still a work in progress.
Tonight, however, I was wondering if maybe I should try using LiveJournal actually as a journal. I don't know how that might work out or if I'll like the results or if anyone would find that interesting anyway, but I'm thinking I might try it as an experiment for a week or so.
I'm curious if it might actually help me to clarify my thoughts, maintain progress on certain projects, or whatever. I also wonder if I'll find myself writing a lot of stuff that I'll cringe over reading the next day!
