What is Blogging?

A blog+ is a portion of a Web site that is regularly updated with content that is new, interesting and relevant to a core theme. Post are presented in reverse chronological order, with the freshest information displayed first. Blogs are social because they give readers something to talk about and share, as well as a place to continue the discussion by leaving comments+.

Why should you use Blogging?

Just having a log of content on the Internet is not enough. Without social elements and topical, relevant content, your information is one-dimensional and flat, much like a press release or memo. With blogs, you can influence which Web sites people visit and what they buy. You can also drive the direction of a conversation. It's important to not just have a Internet presence, but to have one that you can largely control.

Who uses Blogging?

  • Individuals who seek to build their personal brand online
  • Professionals with astute industry insights and expert opinions their field
  • Corporations that want to maintain frequent contact with current and potential clients, employees and journalists
  • Media outlets migrating to the digital world by delivering content online
  • Brands that aim to galvanize advocates, win over new customers or offer improved customer service

Nearly everyone can benefit from a blog+. If you already have one, make sure it is delivering the value you expect. Blogs should provide your audience with fresh information about your business or industry on a regular basis. Readers should leave with more knowledge than they came with - and with a strengthened perception of the value your brand delivers.
