Jared Lansky
Being a blogger it is important to get you word out there when you find it so you stay on top of what's happening in the world we live in. Blogging is like a huge community discussion but you have to weigh in on more than just your ow community issues. Some bloggers tackle to big political stories or the latest movie star screw ups. Others like myself are just here to talk. I look at my writings at somewhat of a online journal rather than some kind of vehicle for social or political discourse. All that stuff is a little too heavy for me to weigh in on and I don't think that I'm informed enough about that sort of stuff to really bring anything fresh to the table. What I want to do is to just write ad have fun as sort of an extension of my own life.
For those bloggers out there who are handing out fresh material I feel the deepest sense of respect and reverence for what they do. The ones that post for the major newspapers are my favorite. I love all of the ones that are affiliated with New York Times and with the BBC. I am also a huge fan of the Perez Hilton blog which is all about the latest hollywood news from the host who is this super opinionated gay gentleman who writes like twenty posts a day. The shear volume that he puts out just blows my mind because he seems to be writing about every single event that happens in the lives of these stars all over the world. I don't mean to say here that the larger, corporate, or most prolific blogs are the only valid ones because this is definitely not true. I frequent plenty of blogs, such as one by my friend Jared Lansky, that share information that people want to know none the less. That's what it really comes down to with these things. If someone wats to know it and you are the one writing it, then you've got yourself a fan and they've got a source that they can begin to trust.
