Blogging….My take
- With 0 comments
Its been a few months since i started blogging and i must say its been awesome soo far!This is a review of what my thoughts are soo far which I’m sure will change as time goes by considering how much I’m learning out of this new adventure.
Before
About a year ago i was asking myself what the heck is wrong with these fella’s telling the whole world what they do on a day to day basis, blogging in my head was like a online journal.Who would be interested in what you did,what you ate and what you did everyday! In my eyes that wasn’t my thing!
I remember when i logged onto the net, i found my self going to the same set of sites,reading the same things occasionally complaining about how these sites were not regularly updated(happens when you only go to that many sites), that kept my scope limited to sports sites ,a forum or two,the news and some occasional forwarded links….BORING! I also found when i had something to say, i didn’t have the right channel to express it..
NOW
When you start blogging you naturally start reading other blogs to see how its done. At first it was about how the sites look ,theme’s,pluggin’s and the whole look and feel.Then slowly my focus has switched to content.Now i feel its not soo much your look at and feel but content! If you write interesting topics, you will get the traffic(if your actually interested in traffic).
I’m actually not soo much into the whole traffic thing YET. Its more about speaking my mind ,getting the lingering thoughts in my head out there and exploring this whole gig. Being a Malaysian, we hear about how much heat there is currently on bloggers.Some getting busted for certain remarks on their blogs and in my opinion thats rubbish! We are a matured nation and people should be given their opportunity to speak their mind!
I was just thinking about what happens if you bust a blogger for something he said would impact anyone..
The Delirium math to the whole drama->
Malaysian Population - 27,122,000
Lets say 10% have Internet access - 2,712,200
Lets say 10% are bloggers/readers - 271,220
10% are active bloggers/readers - 27,122
So if there is a strong message out there, its only a small fraction that have got access to it!! Imagine if its hyped up by the the people who are busting these “Internet offenders” make it a big deal..Its free marketing for the bloggers who have something to say! Suddenly that figure is much much larger, automatically triggering more bloggers,blog readers and Internet users!! Busting the soo call offenders is only increasing their value and increasing the volume on their voice isn’t it??
Thats EXACTLY what triggered me to read some of the more famous local bloggers site and if you read what they have to say, they are awesome!! You hardly find them telling you what you should do! They are just speaking their hearts and in my eyes, they are just stating the obvious!Everyone is blessed with a brain each and you can decide whats good or not for you! Just because a certain piece of information is out there it doesn’t mean you need to change your views or take drastic measures.
Blogging has given me a whole new dimention in the way i look for information and the kind of information that is actually available to me! I think its awesome! If your a reader, check out the blogs out there and trust me its awesome!
I still find myself writing with caution, i guess its good to do everything in moderation.I’m going to speak my mind the way i know how too now but how will it look down the road??
Time will tell
