Blogging, My Honest Opinion !

It's been about 10 weeks since my 1st post. I will not lie and this is my opinion. Personal blogging to many is fun and it's a 21st century way of throwing out your thoughts, but this time the whole is listening.Or are they? Over the weeks I have visited several blogs and read hundreds of posts, some of which exhibit exceptional language and are packed with passion and sentiments. But there were others that were just plain 'bullshit', actually there were a lot and may include mine.

Honestly, this blog was supposed to be criticizing Singapore and many other things. But due to the visibility and openness of the internet, things like political blogging and other stuff is not possible. Therefore, my thoughts are in my head and I share them with only close friends and family, definitely not on www.

Don't you think forums are better than blogs? I personally think so and its a place where everyone hears you more and no one knows each other. My favorite one is www.sammyboy.com. It's better than our local newspaper by miles and it's a one stop place instead of reading individual blogs.

It's also clear that blogs written by companies whether internal or external, have a lot more impact on the blogosphere than individual blogs. And then we have the suckers and posers of the blogging world who suck up to political parties and others, you know who you are. Blogging in this course has gotten me thinking that people blog and beg people to make comments. And are just hoping for more hits, half of which are their own because they visit their own blog 5 times a day. It's not like I did not do my own marketing for my blog because its all part of the process of getting hits and comments.

I may never blog again after this, but when I get my own business, a nice football forum would or something that would contribute to my business may do more justice. I have learnt a fair bit during this course and would definitely use several tools to link up and boost my business. But personal blogging is over for me. Over and out, Digital Media done !!
