      Have you ever pondered including a little bit more than simply your current article content? Come on, man, what you may express is extremely important and most. Still imagine in case you added in some terrific images or perhaps video clips to provide your current posts extra, “pop”! Your articles is great but having graphics in addition to video clips, this web site may well indisputably be one of the most useful with their subject. Outstanding blog site!

    What do you need? A Blog or a Forum? 

    Planning to develop a community around your  business (website) to address different  issues  or keep the users updated  about new product releases or to engage the users to help each other!  What is the best possible solution that you may look for!!! A forum or a  blog?

    A forum serves a lot of purposes:

    • The users can interact between themselves and with the owner
    • A lot of product or service related problems are solved in this process and the forum acts as an extended version of FAQ page.
    • It suggests a lot of transparency in the business process and wins user’s faith easily that ultimately transfers into business
    • A forum can retain the existing users as well as it can fetch a lot of new visitors who in future may turn into users
    • There is nothing like a forum to understand user’s trend and it offers a lot of suggestions for upgrading your product

    A good blog serves a lot of purposes too:

    • A blog can provide latest product updates
    • Can create a great reader as well as user base
    • Can uphold the brand identity of the company
    • Pulls a lot of organic visitors who can be directed to the original site
    • Helps to keep the website in the news always
    • A blog is a better way for successful social communication
    • And a lot more

    A forum offers a three way communication [user <-> user <-> Service Provider] where as a blog offers a two way communication [Author <-> User]. In a blog, you can control the directions of issues but in forum it is often impossible. The list may move on and on and on. What do you think?

    …last week the UN Committee on Science and Technology announced that only governments would be able to sit on a working group set up to examine improvements to the IGF—one of the Internet’s most important discussion forums. This move has been condemned by the Internet Governance Caucus, the Internet Society (ISOC), the International Chamber of Commerce and numerous other organizations—who have published a joint letter (PDF) and launched an online petition to mobilize opposition.

    Learn from Spammers – Content Writing Tips #1 

    How do you feel if you get such comments in your blog post / article?

    My business is really thankful for the author with this post to make this lovely and informative article live in charge of us. We really appreciate your effort. Sustain the great work. . . .

    Or this:

    Kudos for posting such a useful weblog. Your blog isn’t only informative but also very artistic too. There tend to be very handful of individuals who can write not simple articles that creatively. Maintain the excellent writing!!

    Or this:

    When I visit a blog, chances are that I see that the construction is poor and the writing bad. On the other hand, I could honestly say that you writing is decent and your website solid.

    Experienced bloggers will immediately identify these as spam comments. They will trash these comments in no time. Fresh bloggers may find these cool and keep them published. All depends on the chance factor.
    However, I really find them amazing… Especially from a content writer’s point of view.
    Let’s analyze some salient features of all these spammy comments and find out some traits of good content:

    1. General: None of these comments say anything specific to the blog posts where the comments were posted. Do you do the same when writing an article? If your answer is yes, you and the website owner got a problem. Do not write if you do not have something substantial to write about. Otherwise, we would not have called them spam comments.
    2. Make the reader happy: Everybody loves to be praised. All these comments are doing just that – making the blogger happy for writing article so that the spammer gets a chance to stay in the comment thread. Does your article make the readers happy? Do you spend those extra moments or offer something extra to motivate the reader to take an action or to make them happy?
    3. Address directly: All these comments are directly addressing the author / blogger. This is one of the most important aspects of web content writing. You do not know the reader but you must communicate in such a way that you are interacting with a reader. And this applies to every reader of your article.

    People say spammers are smart. What do you say about content writers?
    Last but not the least: here is another example:

    What did you do, just say whatever it is you wanted to make people mad?! You can’t just say something like that and not give any backup for it! You’ve got to at least give me a reason to suppose that you know what you’re talking about; otherwise, you just sound like some kid with a grudge!

    Just look how the spammer is challenging the blogger. If the blogger takes it personally and replies, the comment stays :D ..

    And sometimes the system goes wrong and you publish something like this:

    Youre so cool! I dont {suppose|think Ive read anything like this before. So good|nice|great|awesome|useful to find somebody with some original thoughts on this subject. thanks|realy thank you|thank you|appreciate for starting this up. this blog|site|website is something that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality. good|nice|great|awesome|useful job for bringing something new to the internet!

    This may happen with any content publisher working on some content spinner to generate bulk content.

     
    • Debleena 5:57 pm on 16/12/2010 Permalink | Reply

      This is again another angle to content writing. In fact I have seen many people grimacing when I said that I am a content writer (talking of employers)….so I guess this attitude is because of the general level of writing…..I have been through a situation where I had to spin good write ups and make them really bad (in fact “bad” is an understatement). Why is it that a writer from “Times Of India” is seen with respect and a content writer is pushed to “general” category? Yes, these inhibitions are not born from nowhere…..most of the content writers in various SEO companies produce content which is not even readable….they just write, stuff and publish….so this bulk content producing procedure definitely justifies the categorization….I have been in the web industry for the last two years and have learnt to design my content to some extent (though still I am learning)….so this post is kinda telling us that writing must make sense and more so must communicate….so u need to become a good reader to become a good writer……it is time we set a trend (for all web writers)…..it was great to read this….

    Webtionary – Dictionary of web terms 

    Thinkernet: Thinkers communicating in the Internet. Used as a noun. They have a voice to say something.
    Netizen: People whose virtual identities are real and real identities are virtual.
    Freemium: Selling premium things for free. People say that it is the only business model that can survive in the web. Example: Skype
    Blogosphere: Contrary to earth’s atmosphere, it is an internetospheric level inhabited by bloggers. However, due to over expansions of social media networks like FaceBook, and industries like “make money online” this layer is affected badly.
    Widget: It is like a pocket that people use in their blog sidebar. As you keep phonebooks in your pocket, bloggers keep facebook friends there.
    Tags: How do you define different parts of your body? Ooops – you just tag something as ‘hand’ ‘mouth’… you may even tag your friends with @friends-name
    Hyperlink: it is not like hyper tension. It is a link to another website or web page. But a link from RipOffReport may cause much tension.
    PDA: it is not public display of affection but a Personal Digital Assistant (often have a touch factor)
    KISS: This not an instruction to be performed by lips but an instruction to ‘Keep It Simple – Stupid’ or ‘Keep it Short & Simple’
    Google: though it is a brand name, it is commonly used as a synonym for “search”. E.G. yoo… just google it.
    Crawler: Spiders crawl net and crawlers crawl websites.
    Robot or ‘bot’ : It is not a machine that will do your day to day task. It is a few line of code that gets into your website and reads your data with / without your permission. or the term ‘bot’ might also mean a piece of code that works on its own logic automatically. E.g.: a Google talk bot, that replies automatically when talked to.
    nOOb: Someone who is not only an absolute newbie to something, but also makes fool of him/herself, acting without grasping the whole idea.
    Facepalm: If someone gives you that on the web, know for sure that you made a Boo Boo. :P
    Emoticon: Emoticon sounds like emotion? Yes it is is a set of keyboard characters that are combined to show a facial expression. :P
    FFA: This is not an organisation. It denotes “Free for all”. These are web pages that collect links to other websites.
    Hit Counter: Well this is not a list of musical chart-busters or number of hits you have taken on the face! In fact Hit Counter is a program that counts how many times a web page is loaded.
    TLD: Definitely this is not any new television channel. It means “Top Level Domain”. Examples of TLDs are .com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov.
    Archie: ‘Archie’ – singular for “Archies”? No. It refers to a computer program to locate files on public FTP servers.
    Newsgroup: This is not a group of news readers or a news house! It refers to online discussion group with a collection of articles and user-created posts relating to a particular topic.
    Got some? Add a comment and we will put it here

      WOwww…Jus had in mind another amazing term: ChartJunk. ChartJunk refers to all those illustartive designs in charts and graphs. However this has nothing to do with information about the graphs/charts. It is just a visual bliss. Since it’s all “all non-data-ink or redundant data-ink”, its known as ChartJunk.

      Here is one for the time being, but not the end:
      Instapaper: Do you think it is another specimen of paper of black and white or colored ink? Of course not! It is a tool which helps you to save web pages which you want to read later. It provides you with a Read Later bookmarking button that postpones your reading for the time being. If you have any other important work to attend to, Instapaper can be of great help!:-)

    Do you think Facebook pages should have “Dislike” button? (courtesy @shimulseo)

     
    • priyanka singh 6:34 am on 08/12/2010 Permalink | Reply

      Yes Facebook should have “Dislike” button.

    • Gaurav Tank 6:50 am on 08/12/2010 Permalink | Reply

      Should have. Untill Facebook incorporate change in UI, we simply text *Dislike* in comment box.

    • Bibhas 5:01 pm on 08/12/2010 Permalink | Reply

      Well, No. It *should not*.

      Lets face the facts. Facebook is a site for growing your network. Your network necessarily means the people you like and feel comfortable with. (Well, its not always the case. People often keep adding people they dont even intend to communicate.)
      Now, in this scenario, introducing a “Dislike” button would also come with some some basic social problems. Ever heard of “Bullying”? Clicking the dislike button is like Bullying over someone. Why? because you’re not even showing reason for disliking. If someone dislike your post, of course you’ll get offended. Its like Someone Shouting in front of a whole bunch of people that he Hates you. (Well, you can understand what people will think about both of you after that.)
      If you dont like something, just tell him that directly *with reasons* or just ignore it. When someone publicly dislikes *your* post, you lose a good amount of respect from others who can see it. (Think about that.)

      I think that’ll be enough. I made my point. :)
