As we all got to know by now, blogging is a new Internet phenomenon
where individuals write directly for their own websites. Some
people have achieved huge success attracting about 0.1 million
monthly visitor. But the threat remains as to whether such
independent bloggers will survive the upsurge of the big corporate
leaders. But not all go for blogging.
The success of blogging can be credited to the possibility
for a solo web journalist to create and distribute his/her
research, reporting and written opinions. Now-a-days, laymen
with very little technical knowledge can also create their
own blogs. Blogger has reduced the need for media companies
because individual journalists can now physically produce
and distribute their contents.
Bloggers has actually increased information costs to the
individuals by making it easy to create a professional looking
web site. If it were costly affair then there would not be
much bloggers. Thus by making it possible for anyone to easily
create a nice looking web site, blogger has reduced the visual
clues.
But among success it has its weakness also. The proliferation
of blogging sites makes it especially difficult for consumers
to know which bloggers they would find interesting, because
to get a worthy blog for reading it costs the readers their
time.
