is blogging even a little bit original?

2 12 2009

so now that we’ve been blogging for a couple of months here and i’m more into the “blogging scene” if you will, i’m starting to think it’s really not that original. now, don’t get me wrong, i’ve changed my opinion about blogging since i’ve actually begun to do it. i once believed it was just a platform for people to share personal things about themselves and i was by no means interested to read about what you ate for breakfast…i just thought there were better things to do with my time.

since blogging i have realized that blogs can be really informative – and they are on topics much broader than breakfast foods! you can find blogs about cooking (secret recipe blog – all those restaurant favorites can be made at home!), movies (filmsy – all you need to know about movies and the people in them!), fashion (the cut – new york mag’s uber up to date news and reviews), and literally a ton about design. these are all really helpful, especially when looking for a new recipe, info on the latest movie and the seasonally appropriate outfit to wear to it, however; when it comes to design blogs they are a dime a dozen! It’s so difficult to know which are credible sources, unless you are familiar with the blogger of course, and as always design is pretty opinion based. My question to you is, are there just too many design blogs out there for any of them to be truly original?

i realize that i have a design blog, i’m not that hypocritical, but i don’t feel at all original in what i’m doing. especially considering that there are twenty-something other people in my class doing the exact same thing, i can’t help but feel slightly apathetic to my own cause…maybe i just need a little more inspiration this week ;)
