Blog Beast by Rua Lupa

There is this thing called a blog, it is an interesting creature. It starts with one big voice and is often followed by many others in a chatter. Many thoughts, ideas and actions may result. This creature can shift direction suddenly after the first big voice. Start a different chatter, causing a ripple through the internet forest where the chatters expand to more and more chatters; potentially causing behavioural change. Be startling and cause questioning. It can also become much, much louder with chanting and nothing to stop it in its path. This is a strange and powerful creature. Can one ride it? Can it be tamed? Should it be tamed? What to do with it?

So here is what I plan to do with this internet beastie. Have a set of non-linear series that weaves in and out as ideas come up. Each series would focus on different characteristics of the blog beast with relation to No Unsacred Place.

The Series would be as follows:

Cultural Quandaries

The ‘startling’ aspect of the blog beast. It questions our cultural perspective, which can bring about more questions than answers or potentially bring about a great deal more answers, possibly preventing a definitive one from forming.

UPDATE (02/2013): New sub series of Cultural Quandaries – Colloquial Quandaries, in that it specifically addresses the colloquial in our culture – our way of speech.

Creative Crafts

The ‘ripple chatter’ of sharing ideas.

Community Connections

The sudden shift in direction characteristic. Where the subject posed is liable to change in response to the chatter.

I Spy

This one is the big voice being a chatter in and of itself. Potentially a ripple chatter of sharing news of what you saw, personal reflection, or other miscellaneous topics. This one is liable to become an echo chamber if not kept in check. So there are likely to be fewer of these as a result.

As these series go forward other characteristics of the blog beast may be noticed and cause a series to split or start new ones in response. That way it can better function, acting as it is naturally inclined to.

What characteristics of the blog beast do you notice?
