BlogTalk Conference 26th May

BlogTalk Conference 26th May

Lilia Efimova's presentation (more a results of a survey) was the only thing that caught my eye. Some of the points of interest to me:

Motivation to start a weblog

Experimentation, curiosity and encouragement from other bloggers
Improving personal information/knowledge management
Community-oriented: publishing/pushing ideas, need for a feedback, interest in communication and sharing

Blogging values discovered after starting

Gaining exposure and credibility in the field
Improving knowledge and skills
Serendipity, feedback and dialogue contributing to idea evaluation and development
Networking and relation building, finding friends
Conversations and knowledge sharing
Easy/cheap/fast way to promote/push ideas

Bloggers: what others need to start a weblog

Personal drive, understanding why a weblog is needed and something to say are more important than technology

Would be bloggers: what they need to start a weblog

Time
Technology
Help
Understanding why a weblog is needed, fitting weblogging in existing practice
