Blogs smogs

Blogs are basically a 21st century version of a diary; except with a lot more cursing and ranting about everything. I honestly haven't really been interested in following blogs because I don't really care about what lots of these people have to say. But seeing as I am getting into advertising, and blogs are gaining popularity at an alarmingly fast rate, I guess it's time I get on board.

I've been looking through some of the popular blog sites, and one of the biggest things I found about them, is I don't really know where to start. There is a lot of information packed onto one site and its a little overwhelming.

Perhaps the more I read through, the more I will grow to like them, but right now, I am very indifferent. I would much rather watch the news or read a paper, or even the homepage of MSN.com. 

I definitely do see the appeal of blogs for advertisers however. They are free and are readily seen by millions of people across the world. Its quite genius actually. Its also a great way for people to speak positively about a brand or product, that the brand didn't even have to pay for!

There is a lot of garbage that you have to look past before you find something worthwhile. Everyone with a computer seems to think they are an author. With a huge shift into digital medias used as forms of advertising, blogs are going to continue getting bigger and better, reaching more people around the world faster, and for free.

Blogs are a fantastic way to advertise, an could easily become the newest common form of advertising. With a little more time and practice, I could see myself getting into the blogging world, it's just making blogging a part of my day that is going to be the most work! I think I'll get into it quickly though...
