Grrhh .. I swear I’m gonna crash the moment I touch mattress. Up at this unhumanly hour, in the unhumanly Month .. .. BUT .. but I gotta blog this thought now or I m sure it will never be ..
Why enter the blogosphere?
1) When you know you are gonna market an event that is about blogging.
Really. That was a major reason that started it all! I knew abt blogs like 3 yrs ago but passed it off as nothing more than some girlie-gossipie online thingie. Not a guy thing!
Now .. it is abt playing catch-up .. so much has happened and so huge a potential I can see in blogs that it is physically impossible to stop my fingers from clicking that link!
2) Personal Development.
How else on palnet Earth are you ever gonna easily read the thoughts of top corporate leaders? In Singapore .. NO WAY .. in this part of the planet .. these people are usually better guarded than the Pentagon! U’ve gotta get pass the phone-operator .. the executive .. the manger .. the “whoever”s and finally the secretary ..
In the blogosphere, it is a place where u can get a no-holds-barred (kind of) insight into the thoughts of these people. And the best part .. it is real and real-time.
It was said that to be the best, learn from the best. And these thought-leaders are about the best. And .. and the best part is .. IT’S FREE ..
Not only you get to hear from them, u get to actually COMMUNICATE with them. Thru your comments, their comments and everyone else’s comments.
Some of the blogs I like to visit is Seth Godin, Bob Parsons, and Tom Peters. (Of I do read some gossipie junkie of Xiaxue and rest).
3) To keep up with technology
I do not claim to be an ultra mega technogeek .. but these couple of weeks, I did learn quite a bit. The most useful will definitely this RSS thingie. Fabulous stuff. Something that I had not been bothered about for more than a year since I heard abt it. ..
In a worse case, I am sure I’ll not be as out of touch as I was during the dotcom boom.
Also, a blog creates a very personal attachment. Thereby, arousing my interest to explore into a lot of peripherial techno stuffies .. many of which I would not have given a hoot.
It is like having a your own room. It all started with a bed and a wardrobe. Then .. u think of getting an Air-con .. then a radio .. then a TV .. Then, u go on to get all your less than functional decor items .. just to make it look “homely” .. same thing I feel abt blogs.. ..
These are just some a scratch on the surface .. a lot more reasons that I can see .. in fact more practical ones .. in fact I am not even sure if this post will still be around later in the day .. in fact I am not even too sure wat I’m typiing now .. in fact I think I betta go to sleep now ..
