Popular and not so popular blogging communities

Xanga started as a networking site in 1999 and was frequented by teenagers. Xanga was quite similar to MySpace. A year on it added the popular growing trend then, blogging in its line of features. And then there was no looking back.

The website although not the most popular boasts of an estimated forty million users. It is ranked at 1,438 as one of the most visited websites. The homepage of this blogging community is simplistic and elegant very unlike its logo (which needs a redesign). It features some of the top blog son the network. And there’s a section on the day’s top blogs. The blogs are an insight into people’s lives. It is like meeting a new person. One of the top blogs was the seed sower and its post on apple orchard after rains was simply stunning. This blogging platform allows its user to send “eProps” to others to show their like for a specific post.

 

Blogger is one of the popular platforms used today. It came into being in 1999 and was created by Pyra Labs in San Francisco. According to the web site it was started on a whim. The site got a shot in the arm after being picked up in 2003 by Google. It also was integrated with Hello and Picasa.

Dead Journal has the similar source code as that of Live Journal. However its dark theme and sentiment is not for the faint hearted. In the year 2001 this community came into being thanks to its creator Frank Precissi. It soon became a site for emo kids and Goths to pour out their angsty and dark thoughts. According to the site they just love pissed off individuals and play hosts to journals who nobody else wants. The site has to its credit 500,000 sign ups.

Web 2.0: the philosophy of change

The concept of Web 2.0 is as big as the web itself. There can be many different solutions and answers to the question “what is Web 2.0?” There is no clear definition of this concept. What is very clear though is that Web 2.0 is a major change in the way in which we will be using the internet. 

By the changes that we can already see the internet seems to be evolving into a more responsive, interactive, social and collaborative experience. It can also be seen as a change in the philosophy and working of web developers and the web company. Web 2.0 also depicts a change in the philosophy and thinking of the society at large. 

While in the early days of the internet we used it as a tool but today we are an important part of it. Web 2.0 is a game changer for sure as it involves us like never before. It is like putting us straight into the web. It stands for an easier internet and for connecting people with one another. 

We at Rikhav Infotech are moving with the times and are thinking ahead of our times. Web 2.0 revolves around technologies such as AJAX which make for a more interactive experience. Our expertise in such technologies makes us the market leader that we are today. We all understand the power of the social media as all our blogs are centered and networked around popular social networking mediums.

Content is Marketing and Marketing is Content!

This was one of the many thoughts which came out into the open at the Web 2.0 Summit which was held in San Francisco last year. At the convention a discussion was held on the future of the content. Entertainment and blogosphere bigwigs took to the stage. Ideas were hurled out on the direction of content creation and the businesses making use of content. 

One distinguished young man said what now sits pretty as the title of this article. Content and marketing are two different elements hence it can be confusing to understand the statement. It actually is very simple. Advertising in the traditional way sometimes fails to impress hence distributing and creating content which is relevant helps businesses engage the consumers. 

 Instead of pitching the products through advertising one can give audiences meaningful experiences. The consumer can relate to the write ups and videos as they are created specifically for them. Like if your loved one is down with the migraine you can read up on home remedies on treating the migraine at migrainedisorders.net. This helps fulfill personal needs and has greater importance. 

Our network of websites does just that, we are not affected by the breaking news syndrome and focus on the consumer and make the content relevant to the changing times. What ever we do we keep the consumer in our mind. And with the personal value we emphasize on quality of the content like no other. Our content can people resolve issues or can simply help quench their curiosity. 

Focusing on content is one thing and delivering content is another. The future looks bright but the progression towards it is marked with pervasive uncertainty. There is immense change and both the traditional and online mediums are struggling to keep afloat. At the core of the ongoing tussle lies the million dollar (if not more) question that who’s going to pay for the content? Is the provider or the consumer? 

 Many of the traditional media firms are going back to the old model of paid content where the consumers take up paid subscriptions to the website. We go to great lengths to understand our consumer and what the most searched for key words in the web. We then create content which has a potential target audience and pair it up with appropriate advertisers. This way the consumer is happy and so is the advertiser who knows what market they are targeting. 

As you know the real time search is where all the battles are fought on the web. Search engines are getting closer and closer to getting you the content of your dreams. It’s like they are reading your mind. And social media is rapidly gaining momentum with one and all realizing the inherent unending potential. 

Netizens reach their desired content resources by the means of search engines or by direct navigation by typing in the URL or by the means of the social media network. We have active presence in the every social media platform from the popular to the not so popular. And the quick transition up the search engine ranking makes us destined for fame and accolades.
