iBlog. Do you?





Welcome to the era of user-generated content. Welcome to my blog and my introduction into the world as an online journalist.

It's marvelous that you popped by. Please, do take a seat!

... - oh wait. You're already seated. Silly me. How could I forget!

Now a days you don't have to get up to know what is going on in the world. With the Internet providing access to online news, online papers and multiple blogs, information, both biast and unbiast, are reachable at the click of a mouse. Wonderful isn't it?

Just take a look at Paul Krugman's blog which he posts on the New York Times called "The Conscience of a Liberal". It talks about economics, which is a subject I never understood. But thanks to his clear, even-a-person-who-doesn't-know-what-a-stock-is-will-understand writing style, I can happily grumble about the recession over tea and muffins to my economic-concious Grandfather.

I think as online journalists and bloggers we should strive to produce a blog like his. Something that is informative, but has a valuable opinion (in Krugman's case his opinion is EXTRA valuable. He's a nobel prize winner afterall).
