I think the different between blog and website today is not to far…, event company, they use blog to share their press release

I was thought Blog must be beyond of our own perspective and touch wide range of spectrum. I was confused with blog at first time, why we should blog? we already have news and journal application at the moment (2002).

Then I realize that I don’t blog but doing a journal because I just talking about a thing and mixing natural languages which is confusing to reader. It’s like gado - gado, but I am using an “Blog Engine” to facilitate my journaling activity.

Maybe, we should redefine about blog, acctually blog had built-in bridge function, lol. It’s about culture and definition, It seem becoming a chaos (not visible) now. It’s up to people to decide but comprehensive meaning about blog is must, maybe official Pesta Blogger site could facilitate what people want to share in their perspective with nice guidelines / references.

I appreciate the idea to live up the real function of blog. Great!

@nadia, Harry: Agree with you guys. Frankly when I posted about bridge blogging I thought I was just floating an idea. Had no clue that so many others would take it seriously. What does that say of Indonesian bloggers?

hallo Harry, you’re right, as much as I believe that we have to be proud of our own language, I admit that in current reality, blogging in english can touch and reach more audience. We’re lucky that Indonesians are full of smart people that mostly speak more than one language including english, so blogging in english can reach our indonesian friends too.

I would suggest we should not get carried away of making concept on bridge blogging. Rather, let’s just continue to have fun & writing stuff in our blog. Before we know it, we have shared so many things -good or bad- about our beloved country..!

Moreover, just by making friends with other people outside Indonesia can also boost Indonesian image. Living outside Indonesia, you somehow are one of Indonesian ambassadors. Whatever you do, you like it or not, people start to categorize you as “someone from Indonesia”. If you behave well you’d bring good image and vice versa. This fact also happens in blogosphere, I believe.

berbahasa lain dalam blog akan menjadi beban jika diembel-embeli dengan tujuan-tujuan seperti “menyebarkan informasi kepada khalayak yang lebih luas, dll”.

saya rasa ini masalah kemarjinalan dari kita yang sudah sangat akut: jika orang asing perlu tahu tentang kondisi negara dan bangsa ini, kenapa tidak mereka saya yang berusaha belajar bahasa Indonesia?

dalam hal ini mungkin patut dicontoh budaya Jerman atau Jepang (dan sekarang Korea) yang bangga dengan bahasa mereka sendiri.
