Analysis of a 2000 hit blog.

mann..... do you know when to let it go...... YOU actn like no one complained about the loss of Robert's Blog.... I felt there was some good information on that blog... and some felt the blog was offensive... so the majority ruled....

I think that you are an admirer of drama and commotion....

Act your dayum age!!!

Cynthia, did you read the text of the blog, or just the title? The title suggests a 2000 hit blog is significant, did not mention any name. The text poses a question, but I have received no answers, yet.

I have posed this question before, in other terms, how do we achieve a sustained discussion on a subject. I had about 600 hits on my Philosophy of Language blog. It is now in the dustbin along with Robert's. Extremely unlikely the discussion will ever be renewed. Robert's was ongoing, chances of it being recovered are nil. I thought Forums might be an answer, but it is not supported.

Do BIA members prefer to go from little blog to little blog, subjects of great or little interest, but all ending with the same fate, in the dustbin? I have pointed out a topic on another site that has has been going for 14 years!

So if you prefer sarcasm to a consideration of what, I think, is an important issue, have at it.

BIA administration asks repeatedly, how to improve this site. It gets to the question I asked, what is a blog? And I will ask further, is the current centerpiece of discussion, the BLOG, the best way this site can accomplish its mission?

Cynthia you are 100% CORRECT!!!

Great! Now I've got two irrational answers.

So looking at the numbers, so far 21 hits on this blog, trying to make it about personal sentiment. 2 hits on a blog about middle school funding, 2 and 3 hits on two cybersecurity, all posted after this one. And Cynthia has posted a blog about Harry. Great! Wonderful! Congratulations!

Clark, everything goes into the dustbin, that's the point.

Bogging is ego-centric, not topic-centric. The problem goes way beyond this site. The very concept of a blog, of putting a list of Most Popular Bloggers (meaning not most popular but who has posted the most blogs, with no metric for what topic has generated the most interest) goes directly to the heart of modern day so-called social networking. And blog after blog is a FIFO (First In First Out), but the outgoing end is into a black hole. So yes, to delete a blog that was the only one that had not disappeared into this black hole on its own, is something worth considering.

So I can create a blog about education, and all the thoughts that go into that blog become irretrievable. Then another blog is posted on education, and again all the thoughts disappear. But if I could start a topic on education, which could continue to have visibility, even if the originator were long gone, then it becomes a database, not a FIFO, and all the thoughts can still be accessed. Just as I can go back 14 years on that other site. How far back can we access a specific topic on this site? If I want to see a repository of thoughts on education, it does not exist, not for us who contributed those thoughts, and not for anyone new who would be interested in those thoughts.

Well said Clark!!!

and what about my Harry blog?

it's fun.... because I know that he is going to take it at face value... humor!

Mr. Clark, I agree more than 1000% with you on both of your last two topics.

Clark, I thought I was addressing your statement, about everything coming to an end, with my analogy of a FIFO data structure vs. a database. And by thoughts, I should have been explicit in saying written thoughts. But I don't think this topic turns out to be relevant, so I am sure it will end up in the dustbin where it belongs. Maybe I' go find some rap videos to post. I'm not being sarcastic, I actually enjoyed the last 2 posted by David from Eminem and KRS-One. But I like my rap a little more hardcore, I'll go look for something by Notorious B.I.G.

Adam---I thank you for your pursuit of Truth and Justice.

majority is Democracy

rdHeadSiebraWhatever---

A MAJORITY LOVED MY BLOG

A 2000+ Majority

Adam, a great majority of 'black' people are LAZY and do not read---they need an apeVideo. A book they 'may' have read before is now lost in the emptiness that some call their brains---they do not library their lives---and enjoy the Scholarship and Intellect of their associates and friends---many are crabs.........games, users, and addicts to FOOLISHNESS(before siebra again attacks robertPowell--Elijah Muhammad said these words before she was born)



culpepper is an ignorant 'black' man---he cannot even follow his own rules and direction, he is a mute, deaf and dumb???????

what an idiot!

Intellectuals, as Richard Kigel, will tell you are Intellectuals because they do a great deal of scholarship on subjects, write books, get a LOT of people to recognize their Intelligence on a Subject and guess what redSiebra---books are written by Intellectuals......

siebra is a farakhanMadoff poster--and pasting stories off of different sites and news organizations that Intellectuals have read before she wakes up in the Morning.

Clark, always thinks when he responds to any Blog, you find his Posts Lengthy---he is an Intellectual.

Irma has been with The Family of Adaam a LONG time and her maturity makes her a GENIUS and my love(minusHerNotPerfectDaughter?)

earl and dr. boulware, thomasina, richard, adam, steve, MS MOSS, marta, Dr. Nyere(sic) Katherine, jenFad---these and others I missed(forgive me) are posters and THINKING Intellectuals.

reggie is reggie---a negro that would rather drink some wine.......

and by the way My Blog of 2000+ represented the reading and writing of Many Intellectuals and some idiots but it is now at nearly 10,000 HITS under the Title,

"africanAmerican Losses"

thanks Clark... trust me... I was not out to get or start a confrontation with Harry.... I just had a thought of humor.... if my blog is offensive to anyone including Harry... I will edit the topic.... but it was not to be taken as a "hard bash" at Harry

Robert Powell Robert.... ((rdHeadSiebraWhatever))

see thar ... u @ it again.... now with me... Let's not go there ok....

The blog is DEAD...DEAD AS ELVIS...DEAD AS TUPAC...GET...OVER...IT!!!

Siebra, remember Lazarus. There is now a new blog that will outshine the old. Why? Because unity will defeat division. Intelligence will defeat ignorance. And issues will defeat ego.

Oh, and science will defeat superstition (as in Devil worship).

Adam, Lazarus could not become any more dead than he already was. That is why Jesus took time to weep because Lazarus can wait.

Then I will use the story of the Phoenix, perhaps a better analogy.

The Roman poet Ovid wrote the following about the phoenix:

Most beings spring from other individuals; but there is a certain kind which reproduces itself. The Assyrians call it the Phoenix. It does not live on fruit or flowers, but on frankincense and odoriferous gums. When it has lived five hundred years, it builds itself a nest in the branches of an oak, or on the top of a palm tree. In this it collects cinnamon, and spikenard, and myrrh, and of these materials builds a pile on which it deposits itself, and dying, breathes out its last breath amidst odors. From the body of the parent bird, a young Phoenix issues forth, destined to live as long a life as its predecessor. When this has grown up and gained sufficient strength, it lifts its nest from the tree (its own cradle and its parent's sepulchre), and carries it to the city of Heliopolis in Egypt, and deposits it in the temple of the Sun.

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH...Sorry but I don't follow Charlie Brown's teacher (LOL)

But you do follow.

And I was raised to fear no man but GOD...

JUST LIKE THIS POST WILL NOT GO OVER 150 HITS
WHAT I DONT GET IS HOW ADAM HAS TWO ACCOUNTS
A ROBERTDITTE AND SPINELESS !

David, the first account is still there so you can read my Philosophy of Language blog.

Siebra, if you had said rather you follow God and not Man, that would have been of more significance. It was not God who raised you to believe in a White Devil.

David, this blog isn't worth 2000 hits. The one that discusses separate but equal is the one.

Adam, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (aka The Messenger Of Allah) taught in his book 'Message to the Black Man in America' that the white man is the devil. He taught that since the beginning of the white man's existence there has been nothing but tyranny, racism and bloodshed. When he taught this he did not say that the white man's physical features alone made them devils, but rather their malicious and devilish actions.

Don't sit behind a PC arguing with me Adam, purchase the book and read it for yourself!!!!

stev needs to get a job and move out his mama's house and teach
his kids to stop following in his footsteps going to jail and leave that dope alone
like father like son ! brake the chain devil !

When I am done teaching you David.

Siebra, follow God, not Man.

And David, you would do me a HUGE favor if you would PLEASE spell it BREAK.

Or do I need to put up another biggie smalls video for you?

I DO follow God (and his Prophets and Messangers), thank you very much.

Harry, when I was writng my last comment on this blog I did not have YOU in mind...even the President himself wouldn't agree to following you (LOL)!!!!

steve thats a shame you living off you mama and your kids ! i got your file right here man
im just going to post it all in a blog ..but you better stay away from them kids ! your purp !

and go get your teeth fixed they all nasty and yellow ,,,
that dope will kill you ...i got a rehab and a dentist on stand by for you !
call this number 1800-i need help !

@DOC. i HAVE NOT CHECKED YET BUT I AM HOPING THE PROPHET HAS MADE A COMMENT ON YOUR LAST BLOG ABOUT HIM...HARRY NEEDS TO RELAX, HE HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO TRYING TO GET US TO BELIEVE HIM AND IN HIM. LOL (SMILE)

AND, BECAUSE "I" DID NOT GROW UP BEING CALLED THE "N" WORD BUT "i" GREW UP BEING CALLED '*****'...

"I" AM NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT PART OF MY BIA HISTORY TAKEN FROM ME...SO TAKE THAT TEAPARTY AND ALL OF YOUR BACKERS TRYING TO RETURN US BACK TO WITE ONLY BLACK ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" (S-M-I-L-E)

"I" never read blogs on business, because I have no interest in this but if the theme of a business blog is about some very young business creater, I will read it...

I would love to seem more blogs of Minister Farrakhan, and yet I don't because almost always they will be turned into a religious personal judgement war zone which has Z-E-R-O to do with the message...

but "I" always believe that every thing happens for a reason and not for what I want, need, desire, agree with or just the complete opposit of all that "I" just listed.

AND I HAVE SAID ALL OF THAT TO SAY THIS...SOME QUESTIONS, ARGUMENTS, BLOG THEMES , ONLY 'beggs the question' (as in can only be answered with another question / argueing in circles...as Clark has already stated)

(s-m-i-l-e)
