HW 14: Money Talks

It’s hard to decide whether blogging is more important for businesses, or those people who just blog to get their voice heard.  Both are important in their own ways, because having the opportunity to blog can has a positive outcome for both.  The reason that it’s so hard to pick is because I feel like social blogging is important because it’s had such great success with its users.  People are able to, in a sense, “publish” their ideas and opinions on the latest news, or happenings in general, while staying completely anonymous.  After posting a blog on whatever topic they may decide to write about, they are then able to get feedback from readers who either agree or disagree.  It’s a great way of communication.  There are so many different blogs that cater to almost something like cliques.  There are blogs that are focused on “nerds,” sport lovers, poetry readers, gothic styles, politic followers and so on.  Of course it’s important for blogging to be available to businesses as well, I mean without blogging they wouldn’t be able to get the influential criticism and praise within comments.  In Blogs Will Change Your Business it says “The measure of success in that world [blogging] is not a finished product.  The winners will be those who host the very best conversations.” (Kline and Burstein 233)  That statement is completely true.  Those blogs are the most popular blogs because their topics are interesting and readable.   Those are the sites that have interesting backgrounds and followers.
