Writing on your own blog is like living in your own home. A blog is a place where the blogger puts the most effort, a place that no one can take away from him. In my guest post for The Pleasure of Writing, where I explained why blogs will never die , I talked about the enormous differences between blogs and social networks. A blog has no terms to accept: the rules are those that the blogger himself imposes when he writes. A blog does not close unless requested by the blogger. A blog is completely under the control of those who write to it. It is in a blog that the blogger creates his name, forms his community of readers and shows his experience: writing quality articles.
It is in the blog that the blogger can always be contacted: like at home. Can we say the same about social networks? No. We cannot consider our home a simple account opened on Twitter, Facebook or elsewhere. Even if we write on those platforms, those profiles will never be ours: they are the property of Phone Number Data social networks. So, does it really make sense to write on a social network and not on a blog? Are professionals who open a profile on Twitter and don't have a blog really making the right choice? Blogging and social networks: integration Blogging is writing articles that delve into the topics that are dear to us: by writing on our blog we show the entire network - or at least the one that speaks our language - what we know, what we can teach, what we are passionate about.
By writing on Twitter or Facebook we show that fraction of the internet what we know, what we can teach, what we are passionate about. A fraction, therefore, not the entirety. The function of social networks is not to allow the expert, the amateur, the company to write and strengthen their presence. The social network represents only an integration. Being present on Facebook is equivalent to having a stand at a fair: the public who attends it knows that there too they will be able to find their favorite publishing house, their most loved writer, the professional who has solved many of their problems, the person with their own interests, etc.
