Blogging
|
Blogs have transformed the Web. By making self-publishing effortless and its distribution hyper-efficient, amateurs and professionals across the world have used blogging for business, recreation, politics, sports, technology, industry and virtually every market that exists. Basically, if you don't publish a blog today you are neglecting a super-efficient and ubiquitous marketing channel. This is especially true as social media begins to offer legitimate alternatives to search. More information: Here's a good run-down on blogs with a survey of their history at Wikipedia. A dated but venerable introductory history to blogs is at Robot Wisdom. Many people use and trust Technorati. And check out this interview with sci-fi author William Gibson in 1996 where he foresaw blogging and social media. Pretty soon I think there'll be people who make a living pre-surfing [the Web] for you. There's a real need for that -- otherwise it becomes this monster time-sink. You can just sit there forever. Looking. Looking. And maybe not finding anything. Seeing a lot of goofy stuff. How this works: Each subject heading below links to a discussion page with all the posts in that thread. The date at left marks the original post that started the thread. Subjects here can have anywhere from a single post to well over 50 per topic. It just depends how popular that particular thread is. For more specific information, check out my handy-dandy How to Use this Site guide. The filter field below allows you to quicky find topics by title. Please use it with caution, though, because if it can't find a keyword match it can create unpredictable results. |
