A big thank you, to everyone who commented on
my last post. I know most of you don’t need that post but if you are an actual
beginner it’s more useful and you can save your time for testing such basic
things.
Blogging
The term “Blog” has been derived from “Web log”.
These sites are useful to address the internet community. They are listed as
Social Networking sites because it’s a place of interaction of the internet community
and authors. Authors publish their articles and readers comment to those
articles. But unlike other common Social Networking sites, most blogs address
special groups. It mainly depends on what you write. If it’s a sport blog, your
readers will be sports fans. If it’s your personal blog, then the readers will
be your friends and followers. Sometimes no one reads blogs because it’s not worthy
to anyone or because they can’t find your blog URL. Have you ever imagined why bloggers
do this “blogging”?
Is it because they have nothing else important to do? No. The main advantage of
blogging is that it’s a big plus point if you are trying to join an IT related
industry. And also when we blog, we need to search various things, hence we can
improve our knowledge. To become a good writer, you must first become a good
reader. Not only that, we can also earn some money from blogs by publishing ads
in our blog. Google adsense is the famous one but there are many more similar ones.
There are many free blog providers. I
recommend Blogger.com if you are an amateur. It has a good collection of
themes and features. But I prefer Wordpress.com
since it provides many plugins, widgets and themes than blogger. Most people
don’t write blogs because they have nothing to write. I remember how I posted
my first blog post... I was waiting and waiting and it took me nearly 6 months
to complete it. I posted just some basic java code sample and its result. Usually
you don’t find any interesting thing to post until you start your first one..!!
Techies’ world isn’t waiting for anyone. So start today, don’t delay it..!!! Use

And also you can use blog posting software
like Livewriter. It’s a free software
for editing as MS Word and post your article. Keep in mind, no one can find you
when you are posting with a different name. So don’t worry about what you post.
Just give a try. One last thing, don’t copy someone else’s articles itself. If
you have to, then publish source link as well.
Twitter.com is a micro blogging site which
allows us to publish small posts with at
most 14o characters. The main advantage of this is that you can stay in touch
with new technologies by following the big guns of the tech world. For
instance, you can even follow Bill Gates without his permission. But you can
hide your posts from others by adjusting your privacy settings.
There are some rules in tweeting posts.
You can notice some other person using @tweeterusername tag(eg:@csupmag for this techzoom magazine)and if it’s a general
term use #term(eg: #techzoom). Also if you want to retweet a post made by
someone else, use RT tag before post. And also you can connect it with Facebook
account and can update your facebook status updates from twitter. First check
some other twitter accounts, what they tweet, and then decide what you want to
tweet..!!!

And don’t forget to follow techzoom http://twitter.com/#!/csupmag .
I think I should conclude my post now. Please
drop your questions, comments and suggestions if this post interested you. I
hope to introduce some special searching techniques in the internet and some
other techie stuff in my next post.
Until then, cheers..!!!
