Alex Cristache Blogsessive.com (Blog) QBKL.net (Design Studio) Corporate Blogging Guide About the author This is me I guess, Alex Cristache, a 29 year old fellow with more than 10 years of online experience gathered working for top Romanian web design, development and consultancy companies or as a freelancer, currently being the Managing Partner of the QBKL Media design studio. Looking back into my past, I’ve started as a junior web designer and worked my way up in ranks through senior web, print & logo designer, occasional copywriter, web & SEO consultant and project manager. While my main job was focused on design, I couldn't stay away from web development, and so, I’ve started working with PHP & MySQL. When WordPress was first released, I’ve instantly connected with this application, amazed with what can be accomplished by using it, how customizable it can get and the ease of use. So, here I am, a few years later, sharing my thoughts, experience and findings with you, friends and readers of my blog: Blogsessive.com. Special thanks... Go to Alina Popescu for her invaluable help with the translation and editing of this eBook. You can follow her PR blog over at http://WordsofaBrokenMirror.com or check out the website of her PR & Marketing agency: Mirror Communications. I would also like to thank Blogsessive’s readers who by supporting me in my blogging adventure made the publishing of this eBook possible. Last but not least, I thank you - the one who reads this guide - for your interest in learning, evolving and thus making the blogosphere a much more interesting place for all of us.

The first impression is vital. Take your time to rethink and possibly rewrite your headlines, maybe even reconsider your blog’s design & structure, the placement of different sections that could generate further traffic and more reading time.” Excerpt from “How to Improve Your Readers’ Perception” Blogsessive.com’s Corporate Blogging Guide (by Alex Cristache) 3 Blogsessive.com - QBKL Media 1. Introduction to Blogging When starting out, new bloggers often do one of these two major mistakes: they either consider blogging too easy and mostly an automated process, or think of it as a burden that most times doesn’t pay off. Well, my dear friends, blogging is neither too hard, nor too easy. Blogging is an exercise of your skills and talents, a process of constant learning and improvement. It may seem a tough process at first, but with dedicated attention it will become easier with each post you publish and promote. That being said, I offer you this guide to help you start your new blogging adventure with an ace in your sleeve. Let’s take it back to the basics! 1.1 Blog, Blogging, Blogosphere The term blog, contracted form of weblog, defines a certain type of website where texts, photos, audio or video content are published in chronological order, much like an online diary. The first blogs date back to 1993 when the term was first introduced, but they only started to be used more frequently in 1998 when the first blog community, Open Diary, appeared. The true hit of the online mainstream happened around 2002-2003, when the first blog reactions regarding the Iraq war were published and when Google acquired the Blogger.com platform, which allows any person with Internet access to create and maintain their own blog. The Blogosphere comprises all public blogs and is defined as a community based on the theory that all existing blogs are somehow interconnected, often through blogrolls or links inserted in their content. A blogroll is a list of links, commonly displayed in a blog’s sidebar. The links usually point to blogs the author deems relevant to the content of their own blog or simply wants to recommend to their readers. Therefore, through blogrolls, it is believed that any two blogs can be connected through one or more intermediary links. Blogs allow publishing content in a wide range of types and formats, and these types of content lead to a first classification of blogs: a. Classic blog – text content b. Photoblog – publishes photo content c. Videoblog – publishes video content d. Audioblog (podcast) – publishes audio content Blogsessive.com’s Corporate Blogging Guide (by Alex Cristache) 4 Blogsessive.com - QBKL Media Microblogs and tumbleblogs, both defined as blogs with extremely short entries, are two other blog formats gaining more and more popularity in the past few years. Regardless of information format, the online publishing of content through blog platforms is called blogging, and the author of a blog is called blogger. 1.2 Corporate blogging Once they have hit the spotlights, the blogs’ potential to communicate effectively was immediately noticed by companies. Initially seen as a mere tool to promote products and services, blogs gradually became part of a company’s brand. Aside from placing a name and a logo on them, blogs granted companies a persona they could be associated with. In short, they made them human. The corporate blog managed to break the barrier between the “inaccessible company” and its customers. The true value of a company is undoubtedly fueled by its employees’ individual values. But how exactly can these values be expressed? How can they be best presented to the world? Blogs allow companies to position their employees as industry leaders through the opinions they publish, through the breakthroughs shared on the blog, all in a human, personal form that eases communication with customers. A few companies that have successfully adopted the concept of blogs are: Adobe – http://blogs.adobe.com/ Microsoft – http://www.microsoft.com/communities/blogs/ and http://blogs.msdn.com/ Google – http://googleblog.blogspot.com/ The benefits of a well crafted and maintained blog are plenty, but is it the right tool for companies? Find out in the next chapters. Blogsessive.com’s Corporate Blogging Guide (by Alex Cristache) 5 Blogsessive.com - QBKL Media “Many bloggers fail when it comes to building a better blog. Making your blog stand out of the crowd requires a strategy, just like a business. Even if you’re not part of an affiliate program of selling your own products through your blog, think of it this way: You’re selling yourself, your knowledge, your writings.” Excerpt from “My blog, my business” Blogsessive.com’s Corporate Blogging Guide (by Alex Cristache) 6 Blogsessive.com - QBKL Media 2. Critical Questions Before Launching a Corporate Blog Not all promoting and marketing techniques yield results in any given situation and likewise blogs aren’t always the best solution. In certain cases, a blog can become a useless investment, or worse, a way to boost the already negative view the audience has on a company. Before launching a blog, each company needs to ask the following questions: 2.1. Is the blog a necessity or just a whim? A company’s decision to launch a blog may be based on obvious advantages generated by the freedom of communication and by its being given a human touch. Considering these advantages or failing to do so, we still run into situations where a company chooses to launch a blog because of reasons such as: a. Our competitor X has launched a blog; b. It’s trendy, any teen has one. Why can’t we have one? c. We want to look high-tech / tech savvy. In theory, none of the reasons above is a real obstacle, given it’s associated with and supported by other factors such as having the necessary resources to create and maintain a blog or a positive or neutral image in the market. 2.2 Do you have the needed resources to launch and maintain a blog? Unlike classic company websites, blogs keep consuming resources. Blogs imply costs. Be it the technical side – design, development, hosting, be it hiring an experienced blogger to maintain it and publish fresh content, a blog needs financial resources. Blogs take time. It takes time to create and publish content; it takes time to research, write posts, update them and maintain the blog.

    ISSN: 2006-1463 LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE DIGEST Journal of the Nigerian Library Association Anambra State Chapter Volume 7, June 2014. Article SOCIAL MEDIA AND LIBRARY SERVICES: POINTS OF CONVERGENCE Peter Nnamdi Ibe* & Obiora Kingsley Udem** *Nnewi Divisional Library, Nnewi **Dept. of Library and Information Science, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Abstract The Internet has brought in its wake unlimited opportunities for information sourcing, retrieval and dissemination, as well as plethora of platforms for exchange of information. Among such platforms are web 2.0 technologies like Twitter, Blog, Facebook, My space, Linkedin, Wiki, Flicker and a host of others known and referred to as the social media. The social media is home to millions of subscribers who make use of these sites daily for one information need or the other, to socialize or to interact. One of the core mandates of libraries is to provide needed information for their diverse users. Because of the popularity enjoyed by these social media outfits as a result of ability to disseminate information, it has been latched on by many professions, including libraries whose duty is to provide needed information. This paper discusses the major social media technologies and benefits to libraries. It also explained the need for these social media technologies in the libraries, as well as how libraries can integrate them. The paper concluded by stating that there is need for management of libraries to ensure internet connectivity in their libraries, which is a prerequisite for the use of these applications. 82 © 2014 The Authors, Nigerian Library Association, Anambra State Chapter.

    CORPORATE BLOGGING IN THE TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY Sarah Harwood A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts in the School of Journ alism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Debashis Aikat Reader: Robert Lauterborn Reader: Wesley Durow 2006 Sarah Harwood ii ABSTRACT SARAH HARWOOD: Corporate Blogging In The Technology Industry (Under the Direction of Dr. Debashis Aikat) Corporations are now exploring the value of blogs as a marketing tool. This thesis investigates how corporate bloggers in the technology industry are using this new technique to communicate with customers. One blogger from each of the following companies: Cisco, IBM, HP, Microsoft, Sun, Adobe, Accenture, Red Hat, Oracle, and BEA , w as interviewed through a series of on-line interviews. Using a basis of two -way communication theory, the interv iews explored whether there is an effective blogging model technology companies can use and if blogs are a viable marketing tool for technology companies. Results demonstrate that blogs are a viable tool in the marketing mix , but this study was inconclusiv e in providing a model for other technology companies to adopt. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis could not have been completed without the help and support of several people. First, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Debashis Aikat, for guiding me through the thesis process. It was because of his course, Global Impact of New Communication Technologies, that I chose the thesis topic that I did! To my committee members, Professor Bob Lauterborn and Wes Durow, thank you both for your ideas and insight into the practical application of corporate blogging in the business world .

    Lexical Innovation on the Internet - Neologisms in Blogs

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2009 Lexical innovation on the internet - neologisms in blogs Smyk-Bhattacharjee, Dorota Abstract: Studien im Bereich des Sprachwandels beschreiben traditionellerweise diachronische Verän- derungen in den Kernsubsystemen der Sprache und versuchen, diese zu erklären. Obwohl ein Grossteil der Sprachwissenschaftler sich darüber einig ist, dass die aktuellen Entwicklungen in einer Sprache am klarsten im Wortschatz reflektiert werden, lassen die lexikographischen und morphologischen Zugänge zur Beobachtung des lexikalischen Wandels wichtige Fragen offen. So beschäftigen sich letztere typischer- weise mit Veränderungen, die schon stattgefunden haben, statt sich dem sich zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt vollziehenden Wandel zu widmen. Die vorliegende Dissertation bietet eine innovative Lösung zur Un- tersuchung des sich vollziehenden lexikalischen Wandels sowohl in Bezug auf die Datenquelle als auch bzgl. der verwendeten Methodologie. In den vergangenen 20 Jahren hat das Internet unsere Art zu leben, zu arbeiten und zu kommunizieren drastisch beeinflusst. Das Internet bietet aber auch eine Masse an frei zugänglichen Sprachdaten und damit neue Möglichkeiten für die Sprachforschung. Die in dieser Arbeit verwendeten Daten stammen aus einem Korpus englischsprachiger Blogs, eine Art Computer gestützte Kommunikation (computer-mediated communication, CMC). Blogs bieten eine neue, beispiel- lose Möglichkeit, Wörtern nachzuspüren zum Zeitpunkt, in der sie Eingang in die Sprache finden. Um die Untersuchung des Korpus zu vereinfachen, wurde eine Software mit dem Namen Indiana entwickelt. Dieses Instrument verbindet den Korpus basierten Zugang mit einer lexikographischen Analyse. Indiana verwendet eine Kombination von HTML-to-text converter, eine kumulative Datenbank und verschiede Filter, um potentielle Neologismen im Korpus identifizieren zu können.
