March 20th, 2010
A blog is a true reflection of its creator. It reflects the creator’s thoughts, vision, and communications, exposed to the entire world. Blog tells the whole story in itself. It really does not matter whether the blog is a ‘well organized blog’ or it is just a jumble of images and text imposed as mementos. It may be a well-designed, well conceptualized and well managed blog on one hand and on the other hand it may also be just a collection of links, advertisements, banners, and even some irrelevant text posts.
Proficient blogging strategies help in making a blog successful and ensure its readers and visitors coming back regularly. There are umpteen of such strategies and have been proved extremely useful over a period. I am outlining some of these popular blogging strategies.
Keep the Blog Concurrent
A blog must be kept up-to-date and concurrent. All links should be properly placed and comfortably opening for the visitors otherwise the visitor will just move on. A neglected blog can never be a profitable or popular concept. Some of the best blogs are what Buzz Bruggeman describes as ‘intelligence agents’. These blogs have posts that would be of interest to their target audience. » Read more: Proficient Blogging Strategies
Corporate Blogging and Social Media Trends Survey Findings
March 11th, 2010
The ‘Corporate Blogging and Social Media Trends Survey” conducted by ‘Compendium’ has recently been concluded with interesting and trend-indicating results.
In all 226 companies (B2B and B2C companies) participated in this survey and shared their data relating to ‘blogging traffic’, ’visitor-trends’, and ‘twitter-usage’.
Results of this survey are enough to shake the common belief that “business blogs thrive on a core-group of loyal readers”. On the contrary, the first –timers were found to be the ‘key factor’ in increasing the blog traffic.
“As more traffic is being driven to corporate blogs through organic searches and more first-time visitors are landing on blogs, companies need to develop blog and social media content that is appropriate for this audience in order to be effective,” said Chris Baggott, CEO and co-founder of Compendium. » Read more: Corporate Blogging and Social Media Trends Survey Findings

Blogging helps kids and children honing their writing abilities and skills. School curriculums now days focus on enhancing and upgrading student’s capabilities through writing in various forms.
Blogging is big motivation to write on any topic. Children may become proficient writers in a couple of years if they continue with blogging.
School-based writing programs are generally linear in approach and lack multiple dimensions while blogging brings in multi-faceted writing capabilities with all-round skills that help in overall personality development.
Blogging is a useful tool for fostering various types of intellectual exchanges and development of analytical and argumentative writing capabilities among the school children which will ultimately help them while studying at university levels. This fact has also been substantiated by the ‘Pew Internet and American Life Project’ recently. » Read more: Blogging Helps Children Honing Writing Skills

March 4th, 2010
Justin kistner, senior manager ‘Webtrends’, a social media marketing company explains “blogging” in an interesting way.
“Blogs act as ‘an anchor’ for a company’s social media presence”, says Justine Kistner.
Business blogs, company blogs, corporate blogs, or organization blogs register their presence as “profiles” on various social media channels.

Basics of Blogging:Blogging Terminology
February 23rd, 2010A friend of mine asked me to explain some of the terms I used during our discussion regarding our future online project. These were in fact terms related with “blogging”. Being a newbie he was not able to catch them and understand.
This curiosity forced me to think about all others who intend to enter the “blogosphere” with their own blogs. Like every other activity and area of work “blogging’ is also a technique to express yourself and therefore it is obviously characterized by its own terminology.
The “blogosphere”, like any geek endeavor, is rife with its own nomenclature. I decided I’d try and define a few of the many “blogging- terms”, and I thought I might as well share the same with all of you (since many among my friends are still confused as to what exactly a “blog” is). » Read more: Basics of Blogging:Blogging Terminology

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Reasons for Blogging
February 22nd, 2010

In a recently concluded research study at the University of Iowa graduate students of the UW- UW-Madison’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication asked several top bloggers about their “intrinsic and extrinsic reasons for blogging”.
