About Blogging

The article on Bruce Schneier was really informing especially the fact that just a few years ago he started blogging. I feel he writes about things people are to scared to talk about like real-world security, terrorism, and crime. There are always new things to write about in that field and he is very passionate about the topic. It is a lot easier to write about something interesting that have different point of views and opinions. Subjects that can be argued that make people think and respond, or get a reaction from the public is what seems to me, to be the most important thing about blogging. Schneier says he never deliberately tries to get a reaction, but some of his essays are provocative that take days to write.

The best advice he gave was "Just do it. Don't worry about being boring. Don't worry about being interesting. Just do it (blogging)." Being able to throw out opinions and good information is always beneficial. He seems to be very connected to his computer and it just shows the importance of communication through the internet. He is able to get his ideas and thoughts out to whoever wants to read them. For only blogging a few years, I feel like Schneier has learned a lot from blogging, he has benefited from suggestions, while ignoring the negative comments all the while continuing what he loves to talk about. What I took away from this article is that blogging is a passion and connects different people through discussions.
