1/26/2007 - Bloggers Rule the World
Posted in Unspecified
Isn't it amazing how blogs have caught everyone's fancy?. Indeed blogs have become so widespread that one can no longer push aside them. Take for example all these friends I have who run their own blogs: Eva Gardner, Gina Turner, Glenn Alvarez, Jane Nicole, Helen, Mickey, Sharon, Dave, Kathy, Charlene, Edwina, Casper. And then of course there are those who are running several services on their blogs. For instance: Contest of Champions, Major Major blog, Thoughts and Articles, GCWA. Clearly the day of the blogs is here.
The reason that TIME magazine chose YOU as the person of the year was because of the power of citizen journalism -- primarily driven by blogs. So, what are you thinking about? Go over to one of the free services like blogger or some other, or get your own word press blog.
What is very exciting about the blogosphere is the way you can actually generate an avalanche of a response to your thoughts. Just be true to yourself and post something that you truly believe in. And quite literally, you are "the man" or "the woman" for that purpose.
Of course, if you are a non-tech person, you will face some initial hesitation in getting this entire process going. Not a problem, blogging technology is notoriously easy to use. In many senses it is an entry level CMS. Something like a content management system for the masses.
If you do not have your own blog, then now is a good time to do so. Look at some of my other friends who run their own blogs: Happy, Grundy, Made, Robins, Horner, Mike, Page, Nestle, Hopkins, Martini, Khurana, and get a good plan for what you could do.
