SharkBait Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I am just curious who out there runs a blog or contributes to a blog. I have a blog and love reading other people's blogs. It's also a good way to network too. If you own a blog you can win a Samsung Bluetooth Headset too.. details on the link in my signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have one, but I rarely write. I try to only write things that haven't been covered, so I don't have a whole lot of stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zq29 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Me too, but I only find the time to update it about once every six weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947740 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I do not see the point in having a blog. If I want someone to know something about me, I will tell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I do not see the point in having a blog. If I want someone to know something about me, I will tell them. It doesn't have to contain specifics about yourself - It could be used for writing articles on specific topics, or posting solutions for obscure problems that can't be found elsewhere, y'know, useful information to share with like-minded people you don't know...

Daniel0 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I do not see the point in having a blog. If I want someone to know something about me, I will tell them. Well, that's what you can use a blog for. A blog is essentially a medium through which you can express yourself or publish things. An example could be Smashing Magazine whose aim is to "[deliver] useful and innovative information for designers and web-developers" and "inform [their] readers about the latest trends and techniques in web-development" (source). In the time of writing 69598 subscribers to their RSS feed, so surely at least a couple of people find that there is a point in that particular website. To answer the question of the poll, no, I do not maintain a blog nor have I ever done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947740 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I just figure if it is that important that everyone must know, I will just tell them through some other means of communication. It makes sense if you are a business, or something like that, but I do not think it makes sense for personal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I try to blog. And yes, I do try to ascend "this is my cat fluffy"-type posts, creating relatively unique content. The biggest problem is finding the time, especially if you are covering more complicated subjects. People have work, and sometimes even, dare I say, private lives.
