Arrival

I suppose this means that I've finally arrived at the Blogosphere. In a way, you could consider the Blogosphere to be a set of residential areas adjacent to the business districts of the internet. A blog then would be conceptually akin to a residence of some sort. Humor me while I flesh out this analogy a little bit.

Some blogs are single occupancy, like this one. I post here by myself. Some blogs have roommates - multiple posters. The part I find most curious though is that blogs, like actual residences, exist in neighborhoods. There are interest-driven communities, there are even blog communities mapped out onto physical spaces.

None of this is new (i.e. I admit that I am not telling you anything new) - a great number of swollen heads have been applying their minds to the subject from the moment that blogs came into existence.

Believe it or not, the real reason behind of all of this pontification is simply this: God I hope this blog doesn't wind up in a ghetto.

Yes, it's a ghetto.
