::: BLOGSITE IS A SOCIAL MEDIA? :::

Quite the chaotic week and it's just Wednesday, eh?

I will be announcing that I'll be off social media for a while. But not here? Does a blogsite count a social media? Quite frankly, I don't think anyone other than those who had my link can read this. It's more like an online journal where I detailed my thoughts on the internet... to a restrained perfectly healthy way.

Privacy and digital hygiene is important, yo.

Here is what GPT has to say about it:

GPT-4o mini says:

Blogsites can be considered a form of social media, although they differ from traditional social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter. They allow users to share thoughts, experiences, and information through written content, fostering interaction through comments and shares.

Characteristics of Blogsites as Social Media:
  • User-Generated Content: Like social media, blogs are typically created by individuals or small groups, allowing for personal expression and sharing of ideas.
  • Community Engagement: Readers can comment on posts, creating discussions and building communities around shared interests.
  • Networking Opportunities: Bloggers often connect with one another and their audiences, forming networks similar to those on other social platforms.
While blogsites primarily focus on long-form content, they embody key social media elements.

Single-page websites, similar to one I hosts, can also be considered a form of social media, albeit in a more niche context compared to traditional social platforms. But was I really cheating?

Users answered, even the robot say, the perception on blogging as "social media" varies by individual interpretation and context. Noting the words "considered" used when referring to these online journals as social media.

Whatever. All I'm saying is I'm not cheating :P
