View Full Version : Does anyone read another's blog?

I'm not a 'blogger' myself and I know other Covers here have theirs.

Between my time here and at 'Linked In', I have browsed some blogs and I got to wondering is there anyone here who finds someone else's blog interesting/informative etc.??

I'm assuming you mean blogs here. I have read most and do find them mostly interesting. But then again I don't visit LinkedIn much or other places like that. I spend a lot of time here. I put the blog addition here 'for general principles'. I don't expect the Blogs here to become a very much used part of the forum, save for a small number of people, but you never know. On the other hand, anyone who has a Blog here does get some exposure they probably otherwise wouldn't considering the prominence of Elsmar in Google searches and such.

I do visit quite a few news site and some blogs on the internet, though. I have read that more than 95% of all blogs started are abandoned. The problem seems to mainly be that people who begin writing blogs with great ambition find that it is difficult to attract audiences and so they end up writing for themselves and their families. I think the same is true of web sites.

Sometimes it depends on the venue.

At Eons and Myspace for example I have blogs going. Much easier to keep up with and also I subscribe to a few blogs on Myspace and several groups in Eons.

I also post on Youtube, sometimes really cool stuff.

I still have to get going in a couple of other spots like LinkedIn though.
