Blogging On A Social Network
Blogging advice: Blogging is becoming increasingly popular and social networks are also becoming more and more popular as well. Social networks include popular websites such as FaceBook, Twitter where users can create personal or business pages or walls and interact with other users. These pages may include a wide range of components including text, images, audio, video and blogs.
Here system users can voice their opinions, provided updates on their life, offer insight into current events or accomplish a number of other goals. However, bloggers who utilize a social network to maintain their blog should consider a few different factors. This article will discuss some of these factors including whether to make the blogs available to the public or keep them private, considering the audience of the blog and dealing with harassment through the blog.
Making Blogs Private or Public Most social networks enable users to make their website either private or public. Private websites are only available to the user and other users he specifically approves to view his website while public websites are available to all users of the system. These same capabilities also apply to the blogs which are maintained on a social network. For this reason bloggers must determine whether or not they wish to make their blog posts available to the entire social network or to only a fraction of this network.
This decision will be largely based on a matter of personal preference. Social
networks can be quite extensive and some bloggers may be apprehensive
about their blog being available to such a large audience while other
bloggers may have no apprehensions about the size of the potential
audience.
Bloggers should carefully consider this option before
staring a blog but always have the option to change these settings after
the blog has been established if they change their mind about the
choice they originally made.
Considering the Blog Audience Bloggers who utilize a social network to maintain a blog should also carefully consider the potential audience for the blog. Most social networks include a broad cross section of the general public. Therefore bloggers should be aware of this audience when posting a blog and should consider how the blog entries will be interpreted by blog audience members. While it will never be possible to avoid offending all potential audience members some bloggers may wish to consider at least attempting to ensure the blog entries they post are appropriate for all members of the social network. If this is not possible the blogger may consider making the blog private.
Dealing with Harassment through the Blog Another aspect bloggers who use a social network to publish their blog should be aware of includes the potential for harassment from other members through the blog. This can be in the form of offensive comments posted in response to blog entries. Depending on the degree of the harassment the blogger may choose to ignore these comments or take stronger actions.
Bloggers should review the policies of the social network and solicit their assistance in dealing with harassment from
other users. In most cases dealing with the problem may be as simple as blocking the user from making comments on the blog but in some cases it may be necessary to contact the social network administrators in an attempt to get the user banned from the system. In this situation the administrators will review the situation and make a judgment regarding whether or not the user has violated the terms of service.
