Blogging Value

It was just sweet revenge to see the NY Giants beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl yesterday. Sweet revenge for when the Red Sox beat the NY Yankees in 2004.

I haven't blogged much lately. I've been busy with lots of things to do, and I really don't want to park myself in front of my computer at night after a full day of work in front of one.

I was at a conference for work last week, where we learned about Web 2.0 and Social Media. What boggles my mind is how important blogs are to content distributors. They want to license blog content from blog writers. In other words, what you or I write in an electronic diary people or companies want to license and earn revenue off of. This seems like a crazy notion.. but maybe in 5 years it will be commonplace.

But what concerns me is that kids today don't know anything about playing outside or being social at school or camp. Whatever happened to the good old days when we all played outside and didn't park our butts in front of a computer or video games? Everyone's got their blackberries or they are texting or they are doing something in front of an electronic device. How did we survive before cell phone and the internet? I thought society did just fine, actually better than we're doing today.
