JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION ?

Is CS blogs turning into You Tube ?

Not saying it's good or bad just curious.

Just your opinion.

Always been a lot of videos though

There are some blogs that are just videos in comment after comment yawn
-no, it has turned into Trumpmaniac-city...mumbling cheers
Wen

I use youtube to highlight topics of interest not amateur reporting...W5 is a Canadian news program as well as The National...their opinion pieces or investigative reporting helps give the audience a better picture of what I write...perhaps a bit lazy but attention spans are also taken into consideration...lol...laugh

...I posted youtube links in my blogs ten years back, just like nowdayes... only difference is, at that time I didn`t know how to show them proper...doh laugh
It is the lazy way out for those who won't write, or don't have, their own opinion on a subject.
Biff thumbs up

Viking thumbs up you say you know how to do it proper now. laugh

LouLou, I understand you, just some are to long for me. I do understand your point. thumbs up
...so molly, you haven`t figured out how to post vids...?dunno grin

thanks for calling me lazy...mumbling
there are people more knowledgeable about certain things that some are not aware of and can't be said in a few sentences.
Wen
I do like putting up shorter video clips but it depends what is out there...

Molly

I certainly hope you do not think I have no opinion or idea in regards to what I chose to post...I do spend time with the subject matter...lol...laugh
Vik, I will never post a video instead of taking the time to put my own point of view into words.
If i wanted to watch YouTube then I would do just that, not log into a blog.

And yes, I know how to post vidsgrin
No Lou/Vik, you write your opinion in words as well wine

String, if you understand the meaning and context of the video, you should be able to give your opinion about it in your own words wine
Sometimes, on the political blogs, it is to let some raving lunatic spew out an opinion you know in your heart of hearts is pure bonkers and yet - you do agree with bits of it - let him (or her) say it and that way they take the flak laugh
Hi Molly, there might be some truth in what you say, I just don't know the answer to that. thumbs up

Hi Stringman, that's a good point. thumbs up

LouLou, thumbs up
mollybaby

you do it your way I'll do it my way.
Not as far as I'm concerned, I can't see them laugh for anyone with tracking protection they're just a blank square professor
Has the rain hit over there, Z?
Molly, been a lot worse for Biff than here, I just had a downpour but it only lasted 30 seconds.
Lady

You didn't watch my videos...moping

laugh
Yes..I do too!

Most of the time I log on from my phone and I'm not going to waste all my data nor my time on YouTube.

With a link it's different as it gives people the option to watch when and where.

As Imp says I don't go on CS to watch videos.

Hi Wen wave. Sorry...no simple answer.
Up the hills would be worse alright

I was asking mainly because friends of mine went over there for a wedding this week. I told one to take a rain jacket. She looked at me incredulously, mumbled about carry on luggage only, but did take it.
I was just wondering if she'd kill me when she got back, ir thank me laugh
Sorry my above comment was after Ladyimp.

laugh
Molly...thanks for asking..but we've had torrential rain and floods over here.wave
cheers to that, Luke!laugh
Zman, so you kinda feel left out in the dark. laugh
Ladyimp, thumbs up

Daniela, thumbs up

Luke, I gather you like it. laugh cheers
Why do people write blogs anyway?

Forums are for discussions about different topics and interaction with other members.

But - what are blogs actually for? What kind of blogs "make sense"?

If they are a "personal diary" - then anyone can write or post whatever they want, including photos and videos - with or without comments.

Even in an ordinary diary - sometimes you write, sometimes you draw, sometimes you copy other people's words, poems or lyrics you like, sometimes you only post a sticker or a photo...

However, you are right about one thing - on all social media - people started to communicate through photos, memes, videos... They hardly ever write anything themselves any more and even if they do - they write only short and simple sentences. That's why Twitter or Instagram are so popular. Not many words or words at all...
Molly, if she arrived yesterday she will thank you. Monsoons. I put a sorrowful comment on my own blog last night and got zero sympathy so shall not complain further.

To be fair getting off pretty lightly compared to those battling with Florence.
...been out in the rain all morning... don`t complain!tongue grin
Wen, well no, stepping into the light as the blank box they leave is white laugh
Ethema, very interesting comment.

Kinda like a cell phone, no one talks just text. laugh


Etherna, I'm glad you said it. Had it been me, my statement would have been shot down.
More often than not, blogs turn into open discussions... the very same thing forums were designed for.
Daniela, you said on the forums you were grateful for the rain so I presumed it was a good thing to get.
Anyway , my friends weren't going to your area. laugh


Biff they weren't going up the hills either


But my sympathies to all who are experiencing storms wine
CS has always had 3 or 4 inarticulate folk wha do nothing but post boring religious videos of 40+ minutes, or cute facebook photos day aftrr day, week after week, month after month, etx. :)
Then there are the losers who just can't move past Hillary losing. LoL
Ken, yes there is quite a variety of videos, and to long for me.

cheers
Why do my music blogs bother you?grin
@Molly...of course I'm grateful for the rain but...not everybody is!

Some streets have been flooded here because the drainage is practically non existent in Spain.

Also...when it rains all night I get water running down the walls and the floors....no waterproof houses here! laugh
Bear, read the blog. Nothing said about bothering anyone. The blog asked your opinion not anything else.

Try to stay calm, cool, and collected.grin
