Blogging about my 1st blog

Hello, welcome to my first ever attempt at blogging. An experiment that will either fade after a few days/weeks/months or become an endless stream of information that will continue until the next adventure begins, what ever that may be….

BLOGGING

It seems blogging is a trend that is growing frantically by the day, taking many different formats. The likelihood, if your reading this is you already have your own blog. Facebook, twitter, myspace the list is endless and each constitutes its own adaptation of a blog. Some are quite happy to share their day to day movements and thoughts. others just a random statement of their imagination, nevertheless its all ‘in a sense’ blogging.

Some use this form of ‘communication’ as liberating, some as therapeutic, others have a business or marketing agenda and others just enjoy spreading their ego into digital cyberspace.  Nevertheless the outcome is always the the same.

A NEW ERA OF COMMUNICATION

Whilst blogging is certainly not a new phenomenon, it is however growing in popularity particularly in the commercial world offering individuals the opportunity to create their own social brand. If your considering writing a blog yourself do your research first, after all the content of your witerings WILL create a perception, an image, even a personality. Be careful how you broadcast yourself!!

Blogging has many advantages but also many pitfalls so don’t jump in without some initial thoughts. What do you want it to achieve? I recommend this blog as a good starting point, Matt it seems, has become a respected expert on the subject of ‘a social brand’. Well worth a read if you do decide on upgrading your social ‘networking’ persona.

Right, off to get this dodgy tooth out : (
