Interesting things on the internet.

It might be that I am spending too much of my time on the internet visiting other peoples websites. However, the interrnet can be a treasure trove of interesting information, entertainment, peoples points of view and more besides. Many times I have encountered websites where the author has posted an article and the follow up comments on the article (follow up comments are where visitors to a website, well blog usually, have an opportunity to leave comments or feedback etc). The idea is to comment on or leave feedback about the article on that page and when it's relevant replies to the topic at hand sometimes interesting discussions can develop right there on the article page. In some cases lengthy discussions can end up being more lengthy than the article was originally.

Pretty great really the way the internet has allowed so many people worldwide a chance to publish their own websites and share their own content or ideas or opinions with others. And again these others that information or points of view etc are being shared with can be worldwide. It isn't uncommon for people that engage in online discussions on one persons website to be an author on their own website either, and by clicking on other links in conversations I have found my way onto other websites which sometimes have interesting opinions information or conversations of their own to read. Pretty cool.



Spoilt for choice on tv these days or not?

Older readers may remeber when there was just a mere three tv channels to choose from here in the uk. In the age of no video recorders, let alone dvd players, one had to settle for a choice of what one of three tv stations were broadcasting at the time if an evening infront of the television was being planned. Eventually a fourth terrestrial tv channel and then a 5th made its way onto the airwaves. In these days however of satellite and cable tv channels and a wealth of channels broadcasting at any one time, some day and night, its quite a contrast to those days years ago where tv channels numbered 1 2 and 3 and stations even stopped broadcasting during the early hours of the night or morning.

With the large number of available tv channels comes a large number of programme choices too. Although you know what, sometimes theres like 3 things at the same time on different channels that all seem interesting and one has to make the choice which one to pick and yet other times it's difficult to find something at that precise moment and you kinda wish that one of the films or programmes you missed the other night was on that night instead.



Whats in a name?

What's in a name when it comes to naming your own blog or website featuring a variety of topics or musings? Should one go for something descriptive, perhaps some hip cool web savvy jazzy and catchy name or maybe even just go for the first name surname .com variety. As to the answer, I don't know, but i trust the name of this website will be ok. Why the name, well, dont want to use a name for it and couldn't come up with anything suitbly jazzy hip, descriptive or better than this. Maybe eventually this websites content will make up for what it may (or may not) lack in web 2.0ness and jazzy catchy website names. Should everyone be starting up their own websites or blogs or what have you, well, i guess thats for each individual to decide on, but for anyone interested in staking their piece of virtual land on the information super highway, who knows, if you try it, you might like it.
