My scepticism has gone...

Yes, also I was sceptic about the use of social media. But scepticism can change into something positive. All you've got to do is open your mind and try it for yourself. It's so easy to stand at the sideline and give your opinion about something without tyring it for yourself. An opinion based on stories of other people or a quick look at a website such as Twitter of Facebook is for the most people a confirmation of their (negative) thoughts.

"Look at that, why should I share that I'm stuck in traffic", "You only have got 140 characters to type your message, that's not useful". Yeah, yeah, very understanable, but those people should realise that maybe they aren't the group of people for whom those new media is designed.

I should say, at first I was a little sceptic about usign social media too. I am using Facebook for a while and I recently started using Twitter. And I can say that my scepticism is gone with the wind! Social media is so easy and informative when you are using it right! It's not also very fun (my first reason to start with social media), I find it very useful and interesting! Lately I'm more and more into social media and I'm reading e-books, whitepapers and follow several tweets from social media 'experts'. I found that in a short period of time my knowledge has grown exponential. Thanks to social media!

But where am I going with this argument? Well, I just want to say to those people who convict social media before even trying to use it, think a little further! I did, and it helped! Further than that, no hard feelings...

Yeah Blogger!

Allright, I confess. Even now the hype of conventional blogging is over and the social/mini blog has conquered the world, I am starting an 'old fashioned' blog.

But why? why do I? (well, that's a short poem) I do, because I have to! (hell yeah, I'm getting good at this!)

Why do I have to? Because internet is the/our future. And I like internet/web/online development. Sure, I subscribed to Blogger two years ago. That was as a study assignment (more about my study @ http://www.bartbroenink.com ). We had to make a comparison between Blogger and WordPress.

I remembered that back in that day, I found that Blogger was the more user-friendly way of blogging. I also remembered that WordPress had some more functionality when it comes to HTML and CSS programming, but now I found that Blogger has improved and that HTML and CSS editing is posible!

Sure, it may have this functionality for quite a while, but I found out now! Better late than never I should say.

But I'm certain that me starting blogging now is better for you guy's to! I'm a little older, I'm a more developed person, and wisdom comes with ages. Meaning: I have saved you from the crap I probably would have put on the internet a few years ago!

Well, see you next time and thanks for reading!
