After a long hiatus i finally have the time to jumpstart my Blog! But one question will not be haunting me "Am i alone in the Blogosphere".
Weblog-tracking company Technorati, Inc.,reports almost 4.2 million Weblogs worldwide as of October 2004, up from about one million a year earlier.Although blogging has been around since the early 1990's, it has seen almost a new faceover post 2000, whereby Blogging has been turned into a powerful tool for establishing and maintaining online communities.
My understanding says that a blog helps in having a personal obsession and total confidence in one's own voice or opinions. A blogger needs only a Computer, Internet Access, and an opinion. With the comment's (post back) and message options in a blog ,the opinion's are more open ended.
It is fairly easy to go unnoticed in the blogosphere, due to the fact that we always take a risk of confining ourselves to information that only reinforces what we already believe. Blog's have to be popularised and the best way to do that is by posting regularly,its more like feeding the blogosphere.
I have personally done a lot of research before starting my blog and i believe that its an excellent way of building mainstream personal communication.
