Most blogs, even the ones written by activists, do not get persons to do more than "whine" about a problem. i guess reducing whining would be an interesting outcome. Over the years, with poetry, i have witnessed that to get instant recognition, one learns to "whine" about political issues: but becomes very dated very quickly. The best poems are those that are focused on self invention, or even better, invention of different voices for different visions. i think the same applies to blogging. how does one use the technocrati site: for example, one establishes the readership, works out the kinks and grammer issues, and then one starts flowing with a theme and “mission” towards an authentic voice.
