Blogging on Blogger

Monday, May 25, 2009
I've noticed that since I've moved from Xanga to Blogger, I've changed my blogging habits. I find it much more convenient because I take advantage of Google's Blog Reader. I love the automatic feed. Plus, I had it on my iGoogle so it's laziness convenience taken to another level. I can talk about my love for iGoogle at this time of my life, but I believe that'll be another post altogether. Anyway, my behaviours have changes in the form of blogging. I realized that I've turned into a more audience blogger in terms of my interaction in the blogging world. I read and comment on blogs expotentially more than I write. Now this brings up another point: so what? My known regular adience base back when I was on Xanga was 3 people. Now, from what I know from my comments, my audience base is much bigger. However, I don't believe that's due to my switch to Blogger. I've noticed that a lot of people that I know are joining the blogging world.

Great. University is making me analyze everything. This could be a good thing because it gets me to understand how I am and where I'm coming from. (Breaking out of that "I don't know my identity" position is nice. So that's why high schoolers and cliques have such a strong relationship.) You're probably wondering how understand how I blog is relevant to me. Well, who knows right? =) It's better to explore something rather than not. Excess information ftw. (dork!)

This blog is getting all over the place and my writing is horrible (like usual but I'm going to throw in an excuse). Please forgive me. I'm typing this while my prof is leading a debate in class: is the cost of slave labour more expensive than wage labours?

Okay, I'm going to end this now before this turns into an essay. Joy.

Finally Finished Moving!

Monday, March 30, 2009
So, the move from Xanga to Blogger was pretty quick. Although I'm still waiting for Stephen to set up a blog here so I won't have to log on to Xanga anymore, the move is pretty much complete.

Ji needs to return to blogging. We must set up an intervention once finals are over (because I'm sure Ji is in lock-down mode right now).

First Blog

Friday, March 27, 2009
I'm going to see if I can swap Xanga out and go to this. Good idea? I don't know. But I'm starting to get sick of Xanga and all its ads. Although I have a feeling that Google is going to grab some revenues from Blogger and decide to throw some ads in here too eventually. I think I'm starting to Google-fy everything now. I rely on GoogleDocs like there's no tomorrow. It's just so convenient! I love using it especially after my USB died on me and I go from computer to computer frequently. Also, I like how Gmail is organized so I've been using that for ages instead of Hotmail. Youtube is Google now too. Oh, and how can I forget, Google Search? It's the best thing ever... especially especially ESPECIALLY Google Scholar! I love that search engine.

Hi, I'm Pattie and I'm addicted to Google.
