To blog or not to blog

To blog or not to blog? That is the question

Wednesday, 6 November 13

What is a blog?


A Soapbox?


A Reflective Space?


A place to gain celebrity?


To blog or not to blog?


what’s the purpose of a blog?


Web 1.0?


Storage?


Web 2.0?


A public conversation?


Some where to explore ideas


somewhere to seek adventure


Sad Fact


A third of blogs haven’t been updated in the last two

monthsWednesday, 6 November 13

Does this mean it is still a blog?


or is it a relic from the past?


Web 3.0?


Web 4.0?


Web 40.0?


What will they look like?


what’s a good blog?


something up to date?


something that’s interesting?


to someone


What’s a bad blog?


Does it match the old conundrum?


If there is a noise in the woods


but there’s no one there to hear it is it still a noise?


is this the same with a blog?


if there’s a blog but no one reads it


is it still a blog?


You’re only as good as your last game


So...let’s start a blog


First question...


What’s your goal?


What’s your obsession?


What have you got to say?


Who have you got to say it to?


How often do you talk about it?


are you outspoken?


do you want to be?


Find a person


Who is she?


Who is he?


Do you respect them?


Start a conversation


Position yourself


My concern is...


who cares?


why?


so...write


did you read it?


did anyone else?


don’t cut corners


Think...


Do I really want to say that?


Don’t worry about...


Design


Fame


Traffic


Money


Adverts


Do worry about...


How


Who


Why


When


Do...


Start a conversation


Don’t...


just stop talking


or just talk occasionally


Do...


get better


Why can I talk to you about this?
