I remember when I was a tween, there wasn't much 2 do. We didn't really have 'social media', so I couldn't connect with other tweens on facebook, myspace, twitter, and chat roulette. We were lucky of other tweens had high speed internet/AOL Instant Messenger.
This new Disney movie called HARRIET THE SPY: BLOG WARS is about blogs and tweens. It seems like they are 'glorifying' blogs to tweens, letting them know that blogging is a viable form of self-expression, and possibly a realistic career path. It seems to portray bloggers as people who 'go out and get a scoop' as opposed to the traditional blogger who 'sits on his ass' and 'blurbs about content in a tired voice, like a robot who is enslaved by a large group of readers.'
The show seems to try to let teens know that 'blogging' is the same as 'being a writer.'
I feel like this show really appeals 2 me. As an mp3/music blogger, I feel like I am in direct competition with a lot of 'heavy hitters.' Pitchfork, Stereogum, Gorilla Vs. Bear, the Village Voice, the New york Times, The Wall Street Journal, hype machine bloggers, lil bros on twitter who yell at u all the time. Every1 has a voice, and every1 is competing to get the 'best story' and the 'largest tribe' so that we can make the most 'internet dollars.' So many stories to cover. So many decisions to make on a daily basis. How far is 2 far? Are you supposed to blog about musicians/alt celebs like they are 'real people' or do u just have to treat them like commodities/meme machines?
Being a blogger is difficult, and I wish Disney didn't make this show seem so light-hearted. Blogging is serious. A lot of people get hurt. A lot of peoples' lives' are ruined because of blogs. Not sure if I will let my son/daughter blog, even if they want to follow in my footsteps. Feel like they might get hurt, or they might fail, and think I'm not proud of them.
Feels weird that they rebranded Harriet the Spy. It makes sense, though. But I just sort of remember her as some sort of 'lost lil bitch with an imagination.' Can't believe she is a blogger now.
Does the new Harriet the Spy appeal 2 u?
Have u ever been in a blog war?
What is the greatest blog war in the history of the alternative internet?
Is this movie based on Perez Hilton's perception of the world?
Are gossip bloggers going 2 lead some1 to commit suicide?
Should teens be banned from the internet?
Do u wish they had macbooks /twitters when you were a tween?
Is Disney 'relevant' or is it 'fucking garbage'?
Are 'bloggers' legitimate journalists/writers?
Do you know of any alt blogs who 'don't play by the rules' and have an unfair advantage/bully other humans+blogs?
how sweet it is - this whole post really influenced me and made me realize that bloggers are so caught up in what they are doing - mainly staring at their own posts - that they don't bother to look in the comments where much of the real attrition of the blog wars has now progressed. it is fight or flight down here. i have seen some of the most fuckenest shit going on here in the comments - sometimes i almost get cocky about what i've lived through you have no idea what people are talking about or what you are doing here or what the purpose is of any of the various controls or buttons are. (as one small example - there is no checkbox for integration.) there's no loyalty to any sort of higher power - specificly not "the disney channel". if the disney channel ever saw this shit, they would instantly recoil back to their audioanimatronic deer shell and just make another remake of the nutty professor. of course their best work was the not quite human trilogy. it's so hard it seems like once chip got old they had a hard time really letting go.
want to see harriet solve the mysteries of toro y moi's missing macbook and who sabotaged the mgmt's album. want to rear the youth of america on snark, much like kid's used to be raised on milk ads and flintstones vitamins. the next perez hilton is probs sitting in an elementary school in some lame-ass town patiently waiting for the blogger role models needed to go from 'zero 2 hero' via living the blog-to-book deal dream.

Nothing will ever compare to the original Harriet the Spy, but I've seen the commersh for the blog wars version probably a million times in between episodes of Phineas and Ferb. It seems pretty good. Also possibly a metaphor for racial conflict via the antagonist being a 'bitchy black broad'.

Now my point: indeed, the market speaks for itself here. Given that record companies make money by selling CDs, one could think that would be milking every source of income for all the others worthwhile. If the record does not think there's money involved in clubs adult fans, then there is probably no money involved in clubs adult fans. jogos online

Harriet the Spy was my fave book when I was little. I am offended, Disney.
this may inspire to start my own blog. I think I'll write solely of beach boys albums released in the 90s
