Blogging ~ What is it to YOU?

Social Media aka “Blogging”

I am working on research in this subject of, “Social Media.” I’ll be writing various articles based on your answers and I’ll inform everyone when these are ready.

I keep your responses for possible follow-up, but all your answers are confidential unless you tell me otherwise.  If you or your blog would specifically like to be named in the article I am happy to do this with your permission.

I would really appreciate if you would answer these questions with as much detail as possible. Answer one question or all. Don’t be intimidated. Just answer from your personal experience and random thoughts or points are okay too!

An easy way to answer these is to copy and paste this into a Word document or email and just answer below the question.

1.) Are you a Blog Creator or Blog User?

2.) Do you want your answers kept private or may I refer to your site and/or name?

• How many hours a week do you put into your blog projects?
• How many members do you have?
• How long did it take for you to build your network?
• What “value” have you seen in your social networking and do these match your original goals? (i.e.; friendships, money, information)
• What is the greatest benefit you have experienced and the most negative?
• What do you think of the “technology” used for your blogging (Ning, Wordpress, Google, Facebook etc)?
• What subject or type of blogs do you enjoy the most?
• Are you aware of how many blog services are available and duplicate or similar blog sites?
• What technology has worked best for you?
• About how much time do you feel you are involved in fighting spam?
