My First Personal Blog

To be all honest, I was more intrigued by the whole idea of blogging than being suspicious. The brainpower of the people all over the world is at your fingertips, I was waiting to be inspired, informed, and above all, included. So I took a peep, and unfortunately the reality is not even half as interesting as the idea itself. The blog is mostly full of monologues that were uninspiring, uninformative, and above all, something that made me feel very distant from the gibberish crowd (or is it?)

Until very recently I was chatting with a coworker who’s going to an intranet conference in San Jose, we talked about ideas such as the potential benefits of blogs or contributed forum for workplaces improvement. (There are surging interests in how to improve information utilization at workplace such as this article on Business Week.)

So I went home that night, although I cannot fill the communication void at workplace, at least there is something I could do about my personal life—using the idea of blog to keep all my family member on the same page (quite literally).

But what about personally? Can I be benefited from this as an individual? The value of me blogging (or babbling) better outweigh the time spent. So I will make an effort to make this blog “value-added” oriented. And I truly hope you (everyone in family-space plus you) will have time to do the same and share your thoughts with me!
