New Way for Business Bloggers

While i was thinking a new topic for this blog, i came across an article, with the topic "Why Business Bloggers are Twittering". Blogging, it is not only for the younger group of the internet users to share their thought. Including my G53DDB coursework, i'm actually writing a blog that regarding business technology. Even in the business world, there are business bloggers who blog about their thought in doing business, how to increase their business and perhaps, way of earning more money. Blogging is a new trend. However, sometimes all these business blogs can be lengthy, and not everyone will like to spend time in reading some irrelevant news.

Thus, Twitter, a new business blog is introduced. Twitter is a new service that allows friends, family and also co-workers to communicate and stay connected with each other through the exchange of quick, frequent answers. Twitter is more or less like a social network, where you can get connected with friends and co-workers. In here, you can even share your thoughts of problems with other twitter users. One advantage of this Twitter is that, you can always stay connected to your friends and know what are they doing recently. Twitter users can even set a quiet times for themselves if they wish not to be interrupted but at the same time keeping themselves updated with the news.

Instead of writing a long post in the blog, Twitter is a solution where business bloggers can write an instant messages. You can even use it as a social network to connect with other business partners. A poll has been conducted to get the percentage how people, especially the business bloggers, to use the Twitter. The top three uses are as below:

• Sharing links to items of interest to your network (34%)
• Networking for new contacts (18%)
• Reinforcing current network contacts (16%)

But, does this mean that blogging will be less popular in the coming years with the growth in the usage of Twitter? For my own perception, i do think that for some certain reasons, Twitter might be able to take over the blogger. But somehow, the conventional way of sharing ideas and allow people to share their thoughts through blogging is still an efficient way. At least, for my own-self, i do prefer writing blog to share my thought of the day rather than writing only a short messages which cannot be fully carry out the meaning or thought that i wanted to share.

I suggested that, if Twitter, social network that can be combined with blogger system, it will increase and attract more business bloggers to use it to connect with other business partner and also share their thoughts.
