Is blogging good for your brain? The chances of me dying in a blog accident is almost non existent. However, I don’t simply just blog instead of skydiving or surfing.. There is benefits to Blogging and your brain.
Whenever I engage with someone online, I would normally look for a URL to their blog. It’s somewhat disappointing to see that the person has not created a blog yet. Having a blog saves a tree and you don’t need to eat a beaver.
Benefits to being BAD – Having a Blog Action Day is…

- Blogging can be a powerful creator of creative, intuitive and associational thinking.
- Blogs promote analogical thinking.
- Blogging is a powerful medium of increasing access and exposure to quality information
- Blogging combines the best of solitary reflection and social interaction, including Micro-Blogging
Lastly, there are blogs and there are…well, blogs. The best of blogs are rich in ideas and promote active exchange and critique. Rather than creating closed communities of like-minded troglodytes, these best blogs foster conversation, interactions with other blogs and other information sources, and invite feedback from their readers. Posts can form “threads” or links to other Web materials where readers can examine primary source material or articles that offer competing ideas and views. Blogs that follow this format are far from simple substitutes for television or video games. In fact, they are an ideal format for promoting critical and analytical thinking.
Seeing the last beaver I had tasted so awful and the fact that I hate paper cuts… I will strive to continue to save trees by blogging.
