ok....now that my blogger id is working,(it kinda took me about 4 months to figure that out :-) )
I can start posting.
This post covers a discussion with Srikanth about Blogging(what else could be more apt for my first post :-) ).
some food for thought............
1.
do we blog to express our ideas alone(and end of story) or do we blog to express our ideas and throw it open to people so that others can comment on it....
I guess the answer is obvious........blogging wouldn't be fun if we had no other opinion except our own .
Then the next question follows:
2. If a blog is to be read, then to what extent should we go to get more viewership of our blogs...
well here we have something that cannot be easily answered......
I guess , we should check the following points:
what is the intent of our blog ??--is it just to express our ideas , is it to market something, is it to stir up a discussion.......
who are the intended audience??---can they be made to read our blog just by publishing it, or do we have to put catchy words so that google will catch it(ie are we trying to use the page rank algorithm to increase our hits???)
well that makes me think ----why go for all this----good blogs should automatically attract people(isn't it), why do we need to market it......
so, this puts me into a thought process---is it that content attracts audience or is it that we may have to compromise on content(and put catchy stuff) to attract readers???
again--is it worthwhile to compromise on content and attract an audience who are ready to read a sub-standard content????
