It's school vacation once again. With students having more time to squander around, blogosphere will be digitally crowded once more. I just hope that keeping a journal will eventually lead them into more serious writing. Serious writers find time to read. Conversely, critical readers can also become good writers.
Recently, the LiveJournal team has launched a feature for new schools. I am not a user of LiveJournal but this one is pretty exciting. This feature enables LiveJournalers to add a school to their profile and create school-oriented communities. Among the listed countries, the Philippines appears to have the most schools (or students) with "LiveJournallers" (that's excluding "blogspotters", etc.). Take out the bigger continents and you'll see in this School Directory how addicts we have become weblogging. Out of curiousity I clicked "Philippines" which led me to choose from its "provinces" then to my home city "Iloilo" I found UP Visayas and wondered how many were using LiveJournal. Shisia has a nice site and so with UPfight.
Either students have grown lazy studying to have time blogging or we are just plainly a country of writers.
