Hi friends,
Hope this post finds you in best of your soul and mind! It is raining outside heavily, as I write this post. And I am enjoying the mausam to its fullest. Hope you too do. By the way, you enjoyed reading about the life story of Steve Jobs of Apple Corporation, didn’t you? This time I am back with something about which I should have written some time back. Ever thought, why do people blog? It is actually a psychological process, wherein your latent desires to have your own space in this ‘crowded’ world is satisfied! You can do whatever you wish in your this world in which people come and share their views.
Is there any specific reason, why people write blogs? There are numerous blogs on the internet. People write and like the blogs of different kind, variety and tastes. There are blogs on history, music, movies, geography, architecture, marriage, love, automobiles, cell phones, property, marketing, engineering, finance, nature, human body, psychology, computers, gadgets, and lots more. You name it and you have it on the ‘blogosphere’. What drives a person to indulge into such an activity which is not so important in life?
Wait a while! Take a closer look at it!
There are various reasons for which people resort to blogging. Whether you read a blog or you write a blog, you are a blogger. There are various websites which provide you the valuable online space for your own sake! Blogs are not newspapers. Blogs are not magazines. Blogs are not somebody else’s opinions. The blog is completely your own space and your own world. Here, there is no compulsion on you to believe what other people believe or think or write. You are your own king. You write it out your own way. There is no body to stop you. If other people like your blog, they will comment on it. One can have an online discussion forum in the face of blogs.
In India, though, the blogs are not much popular. Around the world, the blogs are more famous among the youngsters. A lot can be done over a blog. People discuss various issues related to their life and the society. People discuss their tastes and preferences. I have seen instances wherein people discuss upcoming movies or some music albums online. People discuss some upcoming automobile model, or gadgets or computer operating systems. I tell you the latest trend. For example, earlier, the companies used to take the traditional route for reaching out to people. They used to do a survey or some research for knowing whether their new offerings will work in the market or not. If the results are preferable, they will go on and do a pilot study by selecting a few selected target segments. Now what happens is that the companies don’t indulge into such tedious and expensive activities. They just open up blog and invite people to discuss their tastes and preferences over it. This will give the companies some of the essential insights as to how to position their products and services to people. This activity is prominent in the music industry in India. Before launching an album, the music companies select a focus group on blogs and try to know their opinions about the albums. This will give them a hint as to what the population will think if the sample thinks in certain ways. So the blogs have their commercial uses also.
People also resort to blogging when they want to tell somebody about what is happening in their lives. Some people love to discuss their lives in public. Some don’t. I have seen people discussing their views about some issues concerning the society or the nation as a whole. For instance, people talk and discuss about the ongoing nuclear deal controversy in the nation. People also discuss stock market and the stock indices on blogs. I have seen people discussing inflation, population, poverty, living standard, nutrition, war, etc. on blogs. We know all these issues concern the society very much. One may ask that mere discussing is not the solution to any problem. I completely agree. But the discussion may lead to some sensible solution. Mostly, the blogging activity is the hobby of youngsters. So we can come to know what other youngsters, like us, think on some point.
One may ask why I selected such a topic for this article (post). But I wanted people to be aware of what is going on in the world. We as MBA grads should know new and innovative ways of communicating with people. For instance, earlier the chatting was considered as a nuisance at the work place. But today, many corporate meetings are conducted on chats and online conference rooms. As people don’t have time and the geographical distances becoming immaterial due to telecommunication tools, people prefer such new ways of communicating. By the way, as the cliché goes, every coin has two sides. While on one hand the blogs contain mature and sensible things, they also contain pornography and other adult material. But as sensible adults, we know what is best suited to our taste, don’t we? The choice is up to us. And why people like porn and adult material is another issue which needs a completely different elaborative article as it requires a totally unorthodox and unconventional point of view to deal with.
That’s it! This is what I wanted to write as of now. Hope you enjoyed reading this and got something new to know.
See you again in my new post. Till then, live and lead a happy and successful life!
Asta-la-vista, friends!
