TechEd 2007 - Blogging Panel
Blogging Panel
Tom Mertens
During Thursday lunch time it was a Q&A session with some bloggers.
It was discussed that blogs started as an digital diary and nowadays it has any kind of information.
RSS format and readers were pointed as one of the big causes of bog popularity. It’s is easy to follow a lot of blogs with RSS and there are even tools to filter information from these blogs.
Someone in the audience asked in which language did the panel members write in. They write in English because it reaches an larger audience, but if they are talking about some specific content to their country, they also post in their native languages.
Another topic was how to find time to blog. One person said that he thought that if son many important and busy people in the world find the time to blog, he could also find his own time to blog. By the other hand blogging can be important as a profile builder. Blogging makes us known in communities and inside our companies. It’s a way for people get to know us and our area of expertise.
I had to left before the end of the session to have lunch. So this is all I heard about.
