So What's the Fuss About Blogging?
Where once there were limited options for publishing content now there is a plenitude. With the rise of the Internet comes the rise of the Blog - the possibility for anybody with an opinion to scribe their thoughts, feelings, issues, rants and raves to the sphere of folks that make up their community.
This world sphere is no longer restricted to school buddies or interest groups within a set locale, but an international audience who may StumbleUpon and Digg your creative views delivering ever growing networks to raise your social voice, your platform.
Therefore , it's no surprise that social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are increasingly successful; as new generations of creative talent come to the fore hoping to generate their own platform the allure of this virtual sector of broadcasting appears inexhaustible.
There are plenty of promises of wealth (affiliate internet marketing, graphical ads, paid guest blogs) to bait the unwary. Yet the realms of actual and virtual are colliding with countless bloggers, social media executives, and other online specialist roles filling the job advertisements. Normal companies are welcoming the new age technology, looking to hook right into the online broadcasting audience and see these up-and-coming virtual socialites as a profitable investment for gaining traction in the online world.
Definitely online is here for good - at least while we still have electricity (otherwise we may have to resort to smoke signals and accept a much more local audience). But with the online culture comes the loss of standard boundaries, no longer are we country based, but Like based. We are branded together by groups, pages and followers instead of nationalities, races and sex.
The fuss of blogging is just that - the chance to add commentary to this virtual world. Sure bloggers could be a bit raw, may not follow the company line but that is the fuss, it's social views without the editor, not responsive to the company policy but an individual view. It's the chance to voice an opinion - but like the excess of reports media, discovering which blogs are good for information becomes the toughest challenge for the instant future.
