Is Your Blog Really a Blog Site ? or a NEWS Site ?

Posted by : Dexter Panganiban on January 27, 2008 | ; Filed Under Random Post

First I would like to thank ShoeMoney for responding to my question. I like the way he communicate with his reader. And it feels good as a reader to be responded by an “A” list blogger like him.

My question is shown below :

Dexter : Techathand.net asks:

do ” A ” lister blogger like you still blog hop..or you get most of your news to heads up. if you are blog hoping any tips for your reader

ShoeMoney: I try to keep a blog and not a news site. This site has always just been kind of my thoughts. I know it makes a lot of “how to make money” lists and tips but that is just a coincidence.

Actually his answer leads me to another question? Is this site a blog site or a news site ? From time to time I am posting some breaking news for my readers to read ( not to mention the SEO factor of it ) , is it blogging or reporting ? Well whatever. as long as there are still visitors commenting and asking from this site I believe I will still do some NEWS posting here.

But I prefer this site to be called as a blog and not a news site

What about you ? Do you maintain a Blog Site or a News Site ?

Hmmm, that’s an interesting question. It’s really tough to say our blog as a news site. I suppose, blog is a place where we can pen down whatever thoughts come our way. So, I prefer my own blog to be called as a blog site although you may find few latest tech news out there.

Yupp.. It is. That is why i prefer to be called Blog Site. Although I must admit that there are lots of post here pertains to News either around the world or at my home country.

But still I believe that there is no Tech Blog without A news with it.

to be a news site, one need certain credibility to do so. a blog site, you can write whatever you want without even verify the content most of us just pick up some news and post it on our blog, then inject some thoughts on the news.

@ bongkersz

But there are some credible Bloggers out there. Like Tech Crunch perhaps. They are always first when it come to Tech News in the net.

@ nimrodjo ,

I believe I have to disagree a little bit, Since a Tech Blog without Latest News in Technology will not known.

and will not be given attention.

@MIkko,

So I can say that a Blog could also be a source of dated information.

I would say mine is both. Although it is more of a blog than a news site because I rarely post news. hehe
