Blog, Article, Tutorial, Web Page?
Blogging, its the most fun you can have with your trousers on, it can earn you money, it can allow you to vent your anger and it can project your thoughts onto other people (like Jerry Springer’s final thought.) But what is a Blog? It used to be a way of keeping an online diary, and still is used by millions of people to do this; anyone can have an opinion on any issue. However, the blog has evolved to such a point where it is many things to many people. Common blog perspectives are tutorials, advice columns, how to guides, rants, raves and everything in between. So what is the future of the Blog? It is already becoming the single biggest content building tool for web sites, with people being paid for their opinion or expertise, and even more doing it for free, to build relevant SEO orientated content for their websites, there are many Blogs about blogging and loads of Blogs about writing a good blog. So where does it go from here? Is it fully evolved? I think that as video streaming technology becomes more user friendly and better tech –wise, more and more websites will host a resident video blog, giving the blog true multimedia appeal (this already happens on so many sites, just type blog into YouTube and you will be inundated.) the real question I would like to ask, constant reader, is where do you think it will all end, if an end is in sigh?. Please post replies to this Blog and let’s get a debate going. I will follow up when we’ve got a few good comments.
