The old definition for a "blog" is simply a live journal. This is no longer the case. I bring this up because of the diversity of uses that blogs have developed and the substandard reputation that they still seem to hold among many circles.
Blogs are still used as live journals to some, but today they are used as domain sites to most bloggers. As I've said before, the new communications model consists of consumers telling marketers what they want to buy and what they care about. This is why blogs have emerged as great tools within every industry. Blogs not only reach consumers on a personal level by giving them a forum to discuss their issues known as the "comment" field. Blogs help marketers to personify their companies by creating a place for businesses as well as individuals to post live updates about their mission.
Blogs are simply a place to update the world on happenings as they occur. The most advanced blogging site that I have found is one that is still in the making, but develops applications and uses based on the needs of its users. Www.Tumblr.com allows its users to create the look and layout that they want whether they understand HTML/ CSS or not. Another great fact about tumblr is that it does not require users to promote the site, only to use it as a place to market themselves. One of the most creative tumblr sites is www.riecespieces.com.
RiecesPieces.com is written by a music producer who continues to update his readers on his career on a moment to moment basis whether the news is positive or negative. He understands that the new public is a public that logs on to Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox in search of the truth and is tired of spam and exaggerations regarding all topics that they enter into their search engines.
