Blog - is it just regularly updated content?
Either fewer people are recognizing the difference between a commercial advertisement and a blog, or the idea of blogging has morphed into being all about regular content. Blogging used to be about personal opinions and original thought, and now we have those mixed with marketing, writing rules, product placements and advertisements. Is Spoken-for by Valerie a real blog with personal opinions and daily journals, or is the collection of Microsoft Windows Blogs what defines the concept of blogging together with others? Is it the passion for Kit Kat by Jen Ken that tells us what a blog really should be, or is it the Amazon Associates Blog that shows how blogs exist to help you and me make money?
Here we go:
During the past 3 months, I’ve twisted microblogging and similar treats to my own liking, posting everything from random thoughts to my food adventures to crazy findings and more. While majority of the social networking platforms, which are mainly modifications and upgrades to the concept of socialization and blogging, appear to bring in a lot of visitors to my profiles and my websites, and a regular flow of new friend-add requests from friends, strangers and other creatures alike, I am beginning to wonder if I’m leaving behind some kind of an online excess waste for my ownself. The idea of having multiple social networks is awesome. The idea of jumping onto multiple social networks and using them at the same time for the same exact content is what I am pointing out with this question.
With several social networking accounts, I usually have similar kinds of posts on many of such accounts. It is like a book: If I write a single book with a single cover and name, and sell it on different platforms, my single content source, the book itself, will get read and be my own creation that is easy to manage and identify with. If I produce the same content under different book names and editors and covers, with each book having the same content inside but different formatting and names and covers on the outside, I will confuse myself and it may be harder to manage all such book types, even though from the inside the book is exactly the same. I wonder if participating with the same content on multiple social networks can be viewed along the same lines.
Question: Do you consider religion to have any influence in your online activities?
Today’s question is both very specific and very general. Today’s question is specific because it focuses on religion’s influence on you, and it is very general because of focuses on how any of your online activities could be influenced by religion. Do you consider religion to have a great influence in your online activities?
For this question, my focus is not on whether or not you are biased in any form against anyone else or any specific religion. My focus is also not on whether or not such influence is right or wrong. My focus in this question is to see whether or not you consider the existence of religion to have any kind of an influence in your online activities.
