This can be a fun and also a very important question to ask yourself, whether you are a blogger or a blog reader. Do you prefer reading and writing non-personal blogs over personal blogs?
Many people think personal blogs offer not much value to the blogosphere, and I think while that may be true in case of many specific personal blogs, non-personal blogs are more prone to not offering any value, while creating an illusion of value. Thus, both personal and non-personal blogs can offer value, and can also waste time, energy and faith, depending on the perspective used to look at things.
In this question, I am asking specifically about the importance of non-personal blogs in your life, and comparing it to the importance of personal blogs in your life. To give you a better idea of personal blogs and non-personal blogs, here is one of the countless ways to look at both of them.
Personal Blogs Vs. Non-Personal Blogs
Personal Blogs
A personal blog can be a place where a blogger talks about his or her daily life, daily outtake on things, or even opinions about certain topics. A personal touch is added where the personal and human emotion and feeling and analysis, among several other things, are given preference over business or non-personal attitudes. I also recently talked about how personal blogs can and should have subniches, something which has not yet been done effectively because many people still think personal blogging is not a niche at all. Spoken-For and BubblesSoc are examples of how personal blogs can compete with non-personal blogs very effectively with interesting, personal designs and useful perspective on things.
Non-Personal Blogs
A non-personal blog can be a place where a blogger does not aim to get personal with the readers. For example, places like Google Analytics Blog, MyBlogLog Blog, and even CopyBlogger are places where the focus of an entity is on a certain topic and promoting an idea to the readers. In this case, Google and MyBlogLog blogs are simply advertisements and news blogs, promoting a certain company and its products and services. CopyBlogger is a great example of a non-personal blog that delivers very useful information to people looking for help with online copy writing.
Are there any other categories?
Yes, and I think you are looking at one of them. A third kind of category is a hybrid of personal blogs, non-personal blogs and a few other things. The personal message, ideas, ideals and values are never let go, and the actual style changes depending on the message at hand. I also like to think that every blog can be a personal blog, if certain elements are present in that blog.
Do you prefer non-personal blogs over personal blogs? How about your own blog, or the blogs you read?
What is your opinion about this? Do you prefer reading or writing non-personal blogs over personal blogs? Would you consider a personal blogger as important as a non-personal blogger?
