"Clogging" is the new blogging

Why do people blog, tweet or join a network for that matter? Some join because they'd like to have something to say, others really do have something to say and the rest just enjoy joining in.

If your blogging is about attention seeking there is harsh competition in the Attention Economy and you will soon realize that with all the other attention seekers (coupled with the great information clutter), you're in for some hard work.

If your blogging is about what you have to say, rather than about you, then it's all about content. Great content could make some noise.

Finally, there's 'Clogging', it's the new way of 'blogging', unrestricted to the blogging media. In essence, it is when the community blogs. In the latter type of blogging, neither the blogger and nor the content is at the centre. It's the community that makes or breaks it.

Clogging is not limited to blogs. Yes Clogging does happen when a community of people decides to set up a blog, however clogging also happens when anyone ReTweets, Tags, Likes or Diggs content. Suddenly it becomes an online discussion, a clog! Over the past year my clogging increased and my blogging...it's irrelevant to you and me what happened of my blogging career.

So in conclusion, if you want to add some value to this blog...help me make it a good clog, else it's only worth some time of attention and possibly a good post.
