« Holiday Greetings in 145 Languages | Main | Technorati Celebrates Third Birthday » Blogs Still Misunderstood by Savvy Media People
Holidays with extended family are always enlightening. Over breakfast with the extended family this morning, the subject of blogs came up in a discussion about Panera's free wireless internet access. Almost on que, one of the senior members at the table asked what blogs are. One of the less senior men at the table piped up "Oh, they're just a bunch of junk done by people that have too much time on their hands and not enough to do." What is surprising about this response is the person from whom it came - an educated man in his mid-40s who has spent his entire career in the media industry! He's a sports director for one of the big three television networks. On the one hand, my inlaw's response illustrates how little - still - the majority of our population knows, let alone understands, about blogging (my brief attempt to convert a member of the "uneducated" population was unsuccessful this morning). On the other hand, it appears some in my extended family think I have too much time on my hands and not enough to do. Ah, if only... Happy Thanksgiving! posted by Wendy Kurtz on November 24, 2005 10:36 AM
