I'm wondering if blogging is for everybody. I mean, blogging and having a readership.
Having an interesting content is not allow to everyone. Journalists, researchers have informations very few people have, or they have informations before everyone else. As a consequence, they can easily be famous bloggers. The fact is that they bring something new to the readers. This is the only way to attrack and keep the readership.
On the other hand, we have the random guy. But the problems come quickly:
1. who the hell cares about what is he writing? His friends, his family but it is never going to reach a large audience.
2. his interesting stuffs are just cribbed from somewhere else. This somewhere else has more precise informations, more specialized informations because it is the source.
The relieving point is that one person never has the best sources. The blogger always know something more than the reader. But how long can the blogger hides its readership his sources?
