There were blogs that called me Miss Piggy. It’s a really hard thing to see as a teenager, especially when you already have problems. Reading what people had to say about me online definitely made it worse. People can be vicious.
I no longer buy papers or tabloids or magazines or read blogs. I used to.
I think it hurts blogs when they have to turn off their comments.
I wake up at 10. I have coffee, and then I spend a half an hour on the computer, where I read newspapers and progressive blogs. I have to tear myself away, or I’ll spend all day reading.
My career wouldn’t exist without blogs, electronic text, hyperlinks, and mass online audiences.
I think we know too much about actors as it is and their personal lives and it’s this information age where we’re stimulated constantly by the celebrity buzz effect or whatever it is, these web sites and blogs and different things.
I don’t read literary blogs. I used to read them, but it was upsetting when they would talk, in a snarky way, about my friends.
Sometimes you might feel blogs are like TV: You have a thousand channels, but nothing good is on.
I really struggle with that feeling of helplessness. That’s why I really try to get my blogs, and even myself, to point to the positive and look at all the inspiring things that are happening.
People only see you in blogs, and they think they know everything about your life.
I don’t tend to write articles and blogs because, I think, if you went into the theatre knowing that this is the writer’s view on x, y, and z, it’s just game over for the play.
I think a lot of journal articles should really be blogs.
Blogging is great, and I read blogs all day long. However, my goal is really to have a deep, meaningful discussion with people. For some reason, I’m able to accomplish this best via email.
There is a line between scurrilous nonsense and serious discussion that laps over, especially in this day and age when you’ve got all this electronic media and these blogs and this kind of fanatical impulse to bring down the opposing candidate.
In the past, a writer had to go outside and get to know others before learning about their work, but the Internet has made humanity more accessible for misanthropes like me. I read blogs, tweets, Facebook posts and Reddit threads where people detail their jobs.
I really like baking, and I really like playing video games. I saw a few geeky baking blogs but I never saw a show on television or on the Internet like that. So I thought, ‘Why not be the first to try it out?’ And it went really well.
I feel sometimes and in some ways like Linda Romanoli and Monica Velour; I feel marginalized because I’m in my fifties. If you went online and you look at some of the blogs, which one can do on a lonely night, it’s pretty startling what people will say about you just because you’re in your fifties.
I have an amazing social-media wing man who manages my Facebook fan site. All my blogs get copied there.
I had an advantage because people would post me on blogs because I had co-signs from Kanye West, Def Jam, and G.O.O.D. Music. Everything I put out, the blogs would put up. When I realized that, I used that to my advantage and helped build my following on my own.
A key element of Web blogs is the community element. Most blogs are not self-contained; they are highly dependent on linking to each other.
I have nothing against conservative people putting out conservative commentary or doing conservative broadcasting, or liberal people doing liberal broadcasting, or conservative blogs or liberal blogs.
I’ve been blogging since the 80s. Okay maybe not that long. But starting around 2004, I launched and abandoned many blogs, and would continue to do so over the next decade.
Blogs with feminist content, from ‘Feministing’ and ‘Jezebel’ to ‘Racialicious’ and ‘Shakesville’ and ‘Feministe,’ have opened up and changed the scope of the feminist universe for women who might never have encountered contemporary feminism.
I mostly read online – tech/VC blogs. I also enjoy the ‘NY Times’, ‘Atlantic’, ‘New Yorker’.
Science blogs bore me. When everyone is an expert, no one is an expert.
The constellation of opinion called the blogosphere consists, like the stars themselves, partly of gases. This is what makes blogs addictive – that is, both pleasurable and destructive: They’re so easy to consume and so endlessly available.
I do not know of a Chinese blogger who has gone to jail, but I know several who have had their blogs shut down. I also know some Chinese bloggers who have received threatening phone calls from police warning them to ‘be careful.’ In some cases, they stopped blogging for a while.
A newspaper is the center of a community, it’s one of the tent poles of the community, and that’s not going to be replaced by Web sites and blogs.
I’m steeped in the news because I enjoy the news – I like reading papers, I like reading the blogs, I love talking to newsmakers and pundits, for that matter, about their opinions. I’m an information gatherer by nature, so that’s what attracted me about this industry.
One of the very few things that I actually read about myself on blogs that got to me was people saying, ‘Ne-Yo doesn’t do R&B music anymore.’ Just because I stepped off the porch to explore doesn’t mean I don’t live in that house anymore.
With our blogs and tweets, digital cameras, and unlimited-gigabyte e-mail archives, participation in the online culture now means creating a trail of always present, ever searchable, unforgetting external memories that only grows as one ages.
