Blogging is About Writing - and Not
via The Blog Herald by Lorelle VanFossen on March 24, 2008
Blogging is about writing. That is a fact. You can video blog, podcast, and do all kinds of fun things with your blog, but it is the writing that makes or breaks a blog. What you say in the blog posts, descriptions of visual and audio elements, and what words you offer search engines for their indexing to help people find your blog.However, blogging is not just about the writing, albeit it is a...

Twitter to Suspend Spammers
via The Blog Herald by Thord Daniel Hedengren on May 07, 2008
This is great news for Twitter users (like me and The Blog Herald)! Twitter have been marking accounts as spam, but the practice have been a bit weird to say the least:Before today, Twitter would mark accounts as “spam”, but not tell the owners of the accounts they marked them as spam. Those owners of the accounts could follow others, but no one was able to follow them, and there was no way...

Wake up kids. We’ve got the dreamers disease
via The Blog Herald by Chris Garrett on May 08, 2008
Sometimes our thoughts crystallize not through direct learning but through looking, comparing and contrasting. Such a moment happened for me after returning from Chicago and checking through Twitter and my emails. I saw a division between the openness, positivity, helpfulness, encouragement, passion of social media, with one or two individuals who, frankly, don’t want to get it.I was jabbed...

Are You a Solitary Blogger?
via The Blog Herald by Chris Garrett on May 15, 2008
I have noticed a great many bloggers I meet are introverted. This is something I can well empathize with as I have had to train myself to be more outgoing. Perhaps communicating online gives us introverts a less intimidating means to connect? The tricky part though is for people who find it hard to connect offline and on.Fact is, if you want to get anywhere online, increasingly you need to break...

Is It the Responsibility of a Blogger to Set a Standard?
via The Blog Herald by Lorelle VanFossen on May 19, 2008

Calling cards were sent to...
