From Blogging to Trogging(?): The Need to be Heard
Who needs a blog to blog? Not this guy. He screwed some dry erase boards on the back of his trailer (hence, “trogging”). I’ve seen him driving around Tallahassee, and yesterday, I was lucky enough to catch sight of his vehicle — parked.
So what? Who cares about this guy’s “trog”?
Well, I see it as further proof of the shift in power from mass media to everyone around us. The owner of this truck is publishing content. He got creative and figured out an easy way to make his opinion public (and the medium he chose makes his content fully updateable).
Whether you agree or disagree with his perspective is not the point. People with something to say are publishing content whenever and wherever they can. Everyone wants — and has a need — to be heard, and the passionate among us will always find a way.
I say three cheers for the trog, and most importantly, its creator. (To download a larger image, just click on the photo.)
What do you think? Let me know by commenting below, or by writing it on the back of your car and sending me a photo.
Hope you’re well.
Love his method. His trog is succinct and powerful. Even though I don’t agree with his views, what really bugs me is his use of “their” for “they’re” :p
ha. that grammatical foible bugged me as well. thanks for coming over and commenting megan. hope you’ve had a good weekend.
