Natty Chatter

Welcome to the Natty Chatter, I suppose that a vision or mission statement is fitting for an introduction, but in pondering a purpose for this blog I came to the realization of two truths. First, there are many blogs (with more created ever day) which can be as general or as specific to any given topic. And second, that blogs are, by their very own nature, fleeting in their existence.

As any simple search will show the numerous variety of blogs currently in existence, the fleeting nature of blogs bears further examination. As a generalization, blogs are lively when they have a following which is typical of what information is offered by said blog. While a post may bring readers to a blog, a following would indicate that other posts must also be added so that readers continue to return to said blog. This would indicate that fresh material delivered in a timely fashion keeps the masses interest in a particular blog.

However, fresh material alone can not be the sole factor. After all, one could post their activities constantly throughout the day (e.g., using Twitter to show folks what you might be doing from one moment to the next) and still not have a following (unless of course said person was already a celebrity of some sort). Thus postings to a blog must be at the very least interesting in some way. Whether it a captivating narrative or an informative insight or just plain entertaining, at some level sufficient interest must be generated so that readers are directed to blog rather than that blog.

Thus the goal for every successful blog (including this one) should to be frequently updated and to have captivating posts. Unfortunately, this still leaves the purpose of this blog unanswered. So for the time being enjoy my future ramblings which should be frequent and hopefully captivating.
