If a tree fell in the Blogosphere, would there be a tweet?

To Blog or not to Blog, that is the question...
Whether it's nobler to b*tch and moan about everything under the sun...
I recently did some websurfing to research the Blogging phenomenon, due to the fact that my son and daughter decided that it was something they are now highly interested in. In my browsing I saw statistical numbers and differing reasons that people think that blogging will either increase or decrease in popularity. None of the numbers are really important other than to give a vague sense of proportion. The singular blogger is a leaf on a tree in a forest full of trees that are full of leaves. Yes, in some sense the leaves are within view of other leaves as well as in view of the rest of the forest in some remote capacity. The old saying goes "If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there, does it make any noise?" I guess you would have to ask yourself as the leaf on the tree among a vast forest, whose attention are you trying to attract and what are your expectations? Do you think the world will turn its gaze upon your blog and suddenly there shall be a spark of recognition in the communal consciousness that puts you under its awe inspiring spotlight of attention? More than likely, this blog (like the majority of personal blogs) will only be seen by my family and close personal friends (not that many). I don't believe it will leave much in the way of an intellectual footprint in the world. Mainly because of all the others screaming for the readers' attention. Also, because the average internet user has the attention span of a flea (if that). So, again the question of to blog or not to blog? I have started this blog to voice my insignificant point of view to the few people willing to take the time and effort to read this. If I find the necessary interest and urge to continue posting my thoughts here, I will. I am not certain if this will be affected by my possible readers or not, but will appreciate any interest shown. I hope that this was not a waste of your time as well as mine...

Sincerely,
Bulldog
