so yesterday

Plurk, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.
They make blogs looks so YESTERDAY.
I once made a presentation about blogs and internet at Law and Sociology class.
I classified—aduh iya, sok tahu dan nekat si emang—internet as the part of “Public Sphere” theory from Jürgen Habermass.

Jadi inget seseorang. Panggil aja D.
L : Iya, jadi aku ngaitin itu sama teorinya Habermass. Ada korelasinya ngga si sbenernya?
D : Lah, ngga tau…kalo menurut kamu gimana emang?
L : Ah gimana si, kan kamu yang anak sosiologi. Anak hukum mana ngerti??
D : Abis kalo menurut anak-anak sosio Habermass itu sok tahu. Teori-teorinya..blah,blah,blah..
*sorry gue lupa waktu itu dia ngomong apa. Ah bilang aja belom belajar sampe situ. Dasar anak 2007. Badan doang GEDE, tapi ngambekan kaya bocah (loh, curcol).

Ok, back to the subject.
Then I correlated this theory with blogs as another part of journalism: citizen journalism.
Later we discussed that there should be a product of regulation concerning about these things, but then we thought, should there be a regulation anyway, since it might cause restrictions and repressiveness from the government.
So we related it to the freedom of speech/expression from the human rights.
*jah,ribet. Gue-nya sotoy pulak. Tapi abis itu dapet A sih, haiyaa~

The point of this posting is not about Habermass’ theory or my friend D, but what I think about blogs and the invasion of Facebook, Plurk, etc.
Thus, I might be ranting and protesting about plurk etc ruining the spirit of citizen journalism,but, hey:
1. I have a Plurk account (and Facebook).
2. I don’t do much citizen journalism on my blog. Mostly it’s me moaning on life. Lol.
Besides I never updated my Plurk frequently, and I don’t fucking care about the karma.
And people still reads my blog! *ok nyet,dikit si emang.

I don’t give a shit, mate.
I love blogging and whatever they say, I’ll keep on doing it ;-)
