Some pearls of wisdom for my fellow blogger friends :)).....According to a study conducted by Susan Jamison Powell of Sheffield Hallam University of Britain when it comes to making friends online or seek popularity in the virtual world...it is the quantity and not the quality of blog posts that matters...infact the most prolific bloggers stay on the top of blogs. This study was conducted on 75 bloggers from livejournal.com website where the analysis was based on number of friends each blogger had, number of posts that were made and number of words that were written in each blog and overall tone of the blog. The researchers' asked bloggers how attractive they found their peers' blogs and found that more words a blogger posted, the more friends they had and the higher their attractiveness rating. The tone of their blog positive or negative did not have any impact.
So if you want to go by this study and its results....start posting rapidly without giving any thought to subject matter or even trying to be original...simple cut-copy-paste will also do :P
Personally, I think one writes because you feel this urge to express yourself freely and unhindered and not gain populairty or make friends online. But then again different individuals...different motives...Whats your perspective on this? :))
i think the study is correct..because this is the same reason stupid soap operas,k serials, so called "reality" shows have huge viewer ratings. but again the people that follow a person who just ccps some trash are the people who like trash..i believe even when it comes to friends whether online or offline, blog followers etc it should be quality of the people and not quantity..wats the use of 1000 Facebook friends when you talk to only 100 if them who knws your mobile no?
