While there is a lot of debate about blogs replacing emails in
the future, I would rather look at blogs in a different
perspective. The purpose of all technology is to make life
easier for the user. Blogging is an evolving technology which
when harnessed by an individual could make it very easy for
anyone to communicate effectively. It empowers the individual in
ways hitherto not available so easily.
Blogs are dynamic web pages which can be created by anyone
without any hassles of technical knowledge about web design or
HTML. It is an easy to use program like the email. Just type and
click to be visible as a web page. All major email players like
Yahoo, MSN and Google now provide a blogging service. Just sign
up for free select a template and follow the customization
instructions and within moments you are online with your web
page.
How can an individual use Blogging for benefit?
Use it as a Method of Personal or Public Communication
Use it to post your communications to a select group of people
or widely and publicly to communicate within your specific area
of expertise or business.
Use It As Your Journal
We all know the importance of writing a journal. You can make a
journal of events and thoughts which you may feel will help
others. You can write about your life and work, the society,
your views on everything which you feel counts and others must
know about it. In a evolving society individual expression and
the freedom to self publish can bring about a global social
revolution by shaping opinions jointly with the community and
spreading like a viral.
Knowledge Sharing
Use your blog to write articles, views and comments on your
industry. Use it to share knowledge about your industry. This
will project you as an expert improving your business and career.
Networking
You can link to others in your area of expertise or industry by
linking with similar blogs. This will help you network and
create a wider context as well as content for your blog. With a
comments feature added to your blog you can make it interactive
with more joining your blog, adding fresh perspectives to issues.
Business Tool
It is the most cost effective tool for small business or
professionals working independently. You can use the blog to
promote your business, interact with your customers, give advice
and develop business with an interactive web page where your
readers can post their own comments and feedback.
Linking to Content
No more the hassles of book marking WebPages. You can simply put
a link in your posting along with your comments which could be
accessed by you as well as your community and social network.
There are also simple technical aspects like using RSS, which
can create immense exposure.
An individual can put a blog to good use in ways only his own
creativity and needs would limit. It is still early days. Just
register and start blogging for your own self development.
