Yesterday I wathced a TV show, e-Lifestyle, on Metro TV. The dialog is about Blogging Culture. There were two speakers, Mr. Kuncoro co-founder of Asiablogging and Mrs. Ventura Elisawati.
Mr. Kuncoro said that blog comes from web and log. Formerly, someone who has IT background or someone who has knowledge about IT. But now, with the help of CMS blogging is much more easier. There are no special qualification to have a blog. Someone who can operate computer and internet may have a blog. Blogger can writes and edit his articles as in word processor. The content may varied from daily acitivities to politic. Blog is different from social networking portal, such as friendster, my space etc. Friendster shows the owner’s data such as school, interest or photo. Blog is as website.
Mrs. Ventura said that there are three kinds of blogger. First, blogger who wants to share his knowledge. Second, narcism blogger. And the third is blogger who use his blog to get money (online business). She said that there are almost a million blogger in Indonesia. Moreover by having a blog, blogger get connected with other blogger with the same interest, hobby, activities etc.
They also informed that Pesta Blogger 2008 will held on 25 October 2008 in Gedung BPPT (for further information please click here).
