Am I Good In Blog? Is my contribution to We Only Like You Because You’re Good in Blog an idea by SheThought.com to bring together critical thinking and rational bloggers from all over the world.
How do you start a blog, pick a name, get and keep readers, and deal with trolls, cliques, and flame wars?
I have had a blog in the past, but I rejuvenated my blog by changing the name to Jin-oh – Atheist|Geek|Nerd|Social. I chose this new name as I needed to get back to basics and also pick some topics to talk about. So it was logical to choose the first, four words that describe me. Atheist, Geek, Nerd and Social.
I now use the following intro around the web Jin-oh is a free thinking Atheist with a keen interest in social anarchy. Considered both a Nerd and a Geek, but with more social skills. This pretty much sums up who I am and also what my blog is a about.
My blog is fairly young so I’m still in the early stages of getting and keeping readers. Along with my blog, I also started a Facebook Fan Page or should that be a ‘Like‘ page now and use Twitter (@JinOhChoi), which I use to post quick links or comments.
How has the recent UK libel case vs Simon Singh changed blogging?
I quote from the BBC as it echo’s my sentiments on the issue.
Other scientists, science writers, bloggers, investigative journalists, human rights activists – all get threatened with these libel suits…
And at the end of the day, the people who lose out are the general public because we don’t get to find out the real truth because these libel suits just stop good journalism.

Why blog at all?
Because, I can. And it gives me a chance to engage with people from around the world about issues I care about.
How is blogging different from journalism?
I don’t really have an answer for that one at the moment.
I do feel that this post is a bit short, so no doubt I will more again.
