Blogging Perspectives

Blogging is great !!! Every individual holds views on matters which interests him. He wants to share those with other like minded individuals. It gives the mind an immense pleasure to know that people listen to what one says. But he finds no ear to listen to him. Reason : Ego. Peoples ego prevents him from knowing from others things he do not know. He thinks its belittling and shuts anyone off. I am sure there are exceptions. But I write from my experience.

Blogs & Expressions:
--------------------

But then thats not what B'logs r all abt. Today B'logs have become the order of the day for those who seeks to learn n share. Its a window to let out human emotions & feelings. Picture this: You read a book. you like it so much that u started living the character for sometime. Mentally & emotionally. What do u do ? U create a B'log post. Another Sample: You r a cinema buff ( lets say: of the Pather Panchali by Ray kind!!! ) . Some films enthuses & inspires u. The dialogues from the movie haunts u. So does the sights nd sounds. What do u do. Create another B'log post.
I have just taken books & cinema as instance bcoz so that most people relate to them. But it could be anything from a stimulating conversation u had the other day or n idea that ignited in ur mind while ur mind was wandering in unknown territories.

Blogs & Techies
----------------

Theres another interesting angle to Blogs. It has emerged as another media for tech buffs to share stuff. And believe me they have taken to it seriously. I have come across Blogs which dwells on the emerging technologies on mobile platforms, on why some killer mobile applications is not a fad amongs junkies. Some even went to the extent of evangelizing tech trends. (Note: since I come from mobile phone backrounds so I have mostly read Blogs on those. Please bear). But the topic does not matter. The point is that Blogs serve as a platform for sharing ideas. And that’s a good trend. Its catching on. Lets see how far it goes.

Blogs & Business
----------------

This was inevitable. Where theres crowd theres business. It did not take long for the ‘agents’ of business to leverage the reach of Blogs. Results. You have employees of companies using Blogs to propagate their products & services. Some companies even have floated Blogs portals solely for this purpose. (Grapevines have it that the employee appraisals are related to Blogs in those cos !!!! ). Well its just the tip of n iceberg. Creating nd maintaing Blogs may not figure in the marketing budgets yet but its not very far either. Till then just Blog.

And Finally Blogs & Bschools
-----------------------------
I had to talk abt this. As I write this I am on the threshold of being a B-Schoolite. The Blogs bug has bitten the B-Schoolite hard. There are Blogs maintained by the student & the faculty. Those Blogs are a good forum to discuss the technical aspects of the business of education. Apart from the individual Blogs there are Blogs maintained some arm of the institute. Those Blogs gives prospective students a sneak-peek into the activities of the B-school concerned. My take on this- it’s indeed helpful. I have garnered lots of tit-bits abt not only the institutes but also the various aspects of MBA education, from the numerous such blogs. As they say its always beneficial to know things from horses-mouth. But sometimes how honestly the Blogs are written also matter. But I guess that’s a topic of another Blog !!!.

So folks through this post I tried to capture the diverge fields in which Blogging is active. Its definitely not all-encompassing. But it certainly taps the relevant domains. I admit that these Blog is not comprehensive on individual domains. Its a Snippet. You r welcome to comment.
