What's It All About Billi

As I journey into the blogosphere, I been reading about bloggers in the Washington Post :

"More than half of bloggers are younger than 30, and a majority use their blogs as a mode of creative expression, the survey found. Money-making possibilities motivate only 15 percent of bloggers, and most blog on a variety of topics, with 11 percent focusing on politics.
They are also less likely to be white than the general Internet-using population, and more than half live in suburban areas, according to Pew.
"The motivation comes from within; it tends to be very personal. They're not out to change the world."



Nightline (ABC) covered Markos Moulitsa Zuniga, the uber-blogger who publishes Daily Kos. Its a great blog and influences the nation politically and earns a good living for Kos. Something to aspire to, maybe. He raises money for politicians and is out to make sure liberal is no longer a dirty word. I love that! Kos is the bane of Connecticut Senator Lieberman reelection campaign. I really love that! ! ! Keep holding his feet to the fire! Kos is also generous to fellow bloggers threading their blogs into the Daily Kos as he sees fit. An enormous help in upping visits to other blogs. Just so many ideas that need to be said in the public square. Love it!

I wanted to blog because there were so many things I wanted to say:

  • Iraq is IN A CIVIL WAR NOW

  • Bush" lied LIED lied" about why the US was going to war in Iraq not confused ,not misled the American public .. LIED

  • Mitt Romney's first name is Willard and he did not even use it during his swearing in ceremony as governor; I distrust him because of that

  • The Faith Based Initiatives office is payola for the Christian right base of the GOP

  • The Civil Rights division of the Justice department is systematically removing core personnel who have a traditional view of these issues replaced with staff who never ever in their lives believed there was a lack of civil rights for some groups of America

  • Celebrity news is the opium for the masses to keep our minds off serious issues so the world corporate power structure can do anything it wants

Hey Billi,

Thanx for clarifying the "blog" discussion. I guess I don't fit the 30 and under population and don't enjoy political conversations, blogging sounds like too much online reading and daily checking for me. Good luck with your blogging. I'll visit occasionally. Have fun!!!

Hey Billi,

Your blogging seems to be going great. I thought that you were going to give us something everyday. You probably take weekends off.
