I love to create. I love to program and I love to write. Blogging has let writers loose, creating a new field for dynamic conversations. It is even common to see conversations about these conversations.
As a programmer, I craft new online services (and free software) much the same way as a writer crafts a blog. I do it with the hope that it will be useful and that it will get people thinking, talking and creating. Blogging has a name, but I haven’t found a name for this programming-meets-blogging I like to do. Some might throw it in the “web 2.0″ bucket. Your ideas? Here’s a start: “blogramming.” (I’m sure you can come up with something better than that!)
Anyhow, the parallel between blogging and blogramming is clear to me. The blogosphere has its a-list — so does the, um, blogrammosphere (ouch!). We all, I think, want some portion of fame and fortune. Regardless of these rewards, we are all hooked on the thrill of hatching new ideas and sharing them with friends.
