Blogs

Nowdays, Web 2.0 is everywhere. Is it a buzzword like many others or is it a benefit for every professional. Blogging is one “chapter” from the “book” of Web 2.0.
A blog is a social tool which allows to several persons to discuss about a specific matter. The purpose of blogging is to share information and knowledge with other people and stimulate discussion and inquiries between each other. It is not a tool of promote yourself, services or company.
Blogs are tools that are providing several advantages to professionals and companies that are dedicating serious time to enter articles. The main advantages of blogging are the following:
With relatively low cost you can reach a vast amount of audience and demonstrate your knowledge and expertise on a specific field.
By writing articles on the area of your expertise you are bound to keep your knowledge up-to-date.
You can create a two-way communication with the readers of your blog that might be potential clients
Search engines “like” to crawl bogs
You might be found by reporters or conference organizers that might be contact with you for additional commentaries or to speak at a conference
You can add pod casts or video casts that the readers will be able to listen or view.

Note that you will need to devote a serious amount of time for a blog if you need to have a place that a lot of people will be able to discuss a specific area with you. Also, passion is a requirement in order to maintain a quality blog.
However, blogs are demonstrating the knowledge of each person that is using them. It is a very good marketing tool and also helps your website get higher on search engines.
