Comments on: 29 Reasons Why You Should be Blogging and Not Watching Television http://www.jeffbullas.com/2010/02/07/29-reasons-why-you-should-be-blogging-and-not-watching-television/ Internet Marketing Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Gaurav Pandey http://www.jeffbullas.com/2010/02/07/29-reasons-why-you-should-be-blogging-and-not-watching-television/#comment-30713 Gaurav Pandey Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:50:00 +0000 http://jeffbullas.com/?p=3184#comment-30713 Good post Jefff. However, I think lack of response is one of the biggest reasons why people shy away from blogging.  It takes considerable time to build a base of loyal followers and the biggest challenge is to sustain the blog in the initial stages, especially in these times of information overload. Also, many bloggers tend to write with an eye on SEO and the articles become a collection of links and tastelessly and shamelessly repeated keywords. Perhaps smaller posts with lots of subheads and bullet points will help, but that severely limits the writer. I think written communication is slowly but surely on its way out.  Good post Jefff.

Blogging is a solitary activity, whereas (in our household at least) television-watching is a shared one.  I can happily do without TV on a day-to-day basis, but my husband loves to hold hands with me in front of the screen.  Fortunately we limit it to an hour an evening. Social begins at home. An alternate view…
