Content vs. Communication

Nivi’s blog had a bit on the difference between generating content, and communicating. My perception of the difference between the two was that content has some sort of worth independent of the creator, whereas communication’s worth is largely dependent on the messenger and/or the context. I’m sure there are all sorts of holes in that position (it was pulled more or less straight from my butt), but I think stuff like the last post makes it pretty clear to me that this blog isn’t about creating “content,” but rather, almost entirely about communication. Keeping in touch with people I wouldn’t otherwise necessarily be able to keep in touch with, time-wise, or otherwise. Every so often someone will mention that they read my blog, and I’ll be surprised that they even knew it existed.

I suppose it’s not particularly hard to find.
