Comments for Advanced Organizational Communication Blog
This has some good insight. I agree that blogging is going to continue to grow and expand over time. As I mentioned in an earlier post, blogs have no yet passed the mommy test according to Jeremy Pepper. This means they are still too hard for most people to use and read. A lot of the time, people are not even aware they are reading them.
I think over time that blog will evolve and get easier to use. With easier use, more people will gravitate to the medium. Blogging could be a very rich medium in the way it opens the channels of communication. Again, this is just a matter of if the company is authentic, and the blog is done right.
As for the last part of your post, once again, I agree. It's going to be vital to many of our careers (if not all) to keep up with the changing technologies.
I can't really grasp the concept of different forms of blogging evolving, because personally, I like where it is right now. It's not so overwhelmingly prevalent that it's annoying, and blogs are relatively simple to read and create on your own. But, of course, companies are going to gravitate towards the newest technologies to stay on top of things, which is a good thing for them. For us - the less technologically-involved public - it might be a little overwhelming if new forms of blogging start popping up when its simple form is still fairly new to most of us. I think once blogging becomes more mainstream, that's when these new forms will start emerging. Some people/companies kind of are already doing the "audblogging" thing with Podcasts. Anyways, no matter what form it's in, however, I think that blogging will always be a marketing tool with potential.
Blogging can affect business in many ways. One way it will affect it is by making communication networks larger and possible strong due to the ease of use. Many people do not like face to face communication and by blogging they can say what they really mean. Another way is by helping the business become more "computerized" the employees will learn more ways to communicate and different ways to communicate. In today's society, technology is culture and this aspect of life is changing business and communication completely.
Blogging is a great way to move into the future. I have been a fan of blogs for quite some time now & I think this is a good step for companies looking to market themselves to other audiences. As it is right not not too many people blog, but it has been growing. Companies are now trying to cover the whole field when it comes to marketing and maybe they will catch some new audiences in the process. People have to face it, whether you like blogging or not, the future is inevitable. If you don't keep up, you simply will not be able to be involved in a lot of different things.
Over the last 9 years blogging has grown from something no one did to something nearly everyone does. The growth of blogging was first spurred by the popularity of Myspace and then Facebook. The newest blogging "craze" is Twitter. Many professionals are being urged by bosses, CEOs, etc. to begin using Twitter as a means of "advertising". Twitter is much more simple than Myspace and Facebook, therefore it is much more accessible to the working class.
Blogging has become extremely popular over the last several years. It has evolved and become much easier to use. Although it is annoying at times, it is also addicting. Since the rate at which they are used has grown tremendously, it would be a great way would companies to advertise. Advertising through blogs is a way in which businesses can easily reach different audiences.
I think it's important for people to realize the benefits of blogging whether it be contributing new ideas and thoughts to better their career path or to simply give insight and provide more knowledge. I think although it may be challenging at first to understand that with practice and constant use it will become easier. I think it serves as an instrument necessary to better the marketing and working world. Blogging allows businesses and employees to reach out to their target audience and better their revenues. Another benefit of blogging is it's accessibility. People can access it from the internet whether it be in their local job facility or from their cell phone (iPhone, Blackberry's, etc).
I agree that blogging is here to stay and is also a good way for people or businesses to advertise any products they are trying to sell. Many companies already do a good enough job advertising but blogging can help with advertising more. There are people who have become well known and even famous from just blogging on sites like youtube and many other common sites. The technology that is probably going to be more commonly used is video blogging.
I think corporate blogging is a good way to put thoughts on paper. Originally blogging came about because of brainstorming idea's and has become a very used tool in today's generation and should definitely continue to be used for the next few decades as a source of informaiton
I think that blogging is an excellent way to stay on top of what is going on in the world around us. They are extremely useful in not only open discussion forms but as marketing means as well. Blogs have been around for a while, and I think that the longer that they are here the more prevalent they will become.
Blogging is a large part of people lives and they won't go anywhere anytime soon. Companies will try to use blogs as a mean to communicate with people to see how they can improve their product. Blogging may one day become the alot of info is delivered between people.
I think blogging is very important for companies because it can allow the employees to stay in touch with each other. I agree that it is very important to stay up to date with everything. It is going to continue to grow in companies because it serves as an important means of communication.
Blogging is an essential asset to company's marketing departments. Blogs are a great way to feed the public vital information about a company in a way that is interesting and informative. In the sense of blogging for companies, i believe that different forms of blogging may appear but will not be as effective. The public can only take so much and if more is thrown at them, they will begin to turn their heads.
As for personal blogging, they will continue to expand throughout the internet and websites. People love to have their opinions seen and heard and blogging is the key way for the public to relay their thoughts with out causing too much trouble.
Noted in the article, blogging may become more visual and audio but only on sights that allow it. I dont think that this will affect companies too much unless companies do not screen their blogs.
Blogging is and will be important to businesses for the marketing aspect for a long time. Getting what ever they want to say out is easiest by using blogs because most people check/use daily blogging. I think blogging will evolve to more than it is now because so many people are using it now. I dont personally use blogging, but i know a lot of people who do and i know a lot of famous people do as well.
