Questions that Arise while I’m Work-Blogging
April 29th, 2008 — Weblogs, Work Related
- Is my time better spent scanning content or reading content?
- Do readers prefer shorter posts that serve primarily as aggregation or would they prefer longer, more in-depth posts with original content from me?
- How much of their post can I excerpt without being perceived as a mooch?
- Should I be linking to “the big boys” as often as I do? Sure, their content is often better, but they have corporate backing, a ton of readers already or both. Should I concentrate solely on highlighting independent bloggers?
- Should I critique local media? What about my own television station’s coverage?
- Why aren’t people commenting at Eye on Blogs? Is it the (admittedly) shitty interface? Is it my own lack of interaction on local blogs? Is it that Bay Area bloggers are already “connected” to existing communities?
- How much nepotism is a bad thing?
- Is this edgy or otherwise possibly offensive post going to bring in traffic or get me sent to the office?
- Should I refer to myself as “I”? Or “we”? Or at all?
- Should post titles reflect the thesis of the post being linked or should it be a reflection of my own opinion? Or neither?
- (more as I think of them)
