How many people here Blog?

[TheCPUWizard]

It is something I have been wondering about.....

In case anyone is interested: www.GeeksWithBlogs.net/TheCPUWizard

[kirants]

I don't. But sometimes I have found useful information, solutions in blogs ( not just the geeky sorts, but blogs in general ). I just don't it because I personally cannot handle lot of information.

[MrViggy]

I don't, either. Working in front of a computer all day makes me not want to read stuff on the screen when I get home. I prefer face to face "social networking", ah-la the local brewery or sports bar! :D

I post occasionally, after I read something that I'm interested in, or to correct something. I don't have my own, other than one that I did on LIVE.com a few years ago. Probably hard to find? I've posted a few times only.

[VictorN]

I don't... :sick:

[GremlinSA]

Nope I dont.. However i do have a facebook account for work (Facebook application development) but i have not used it for social networking..

Social Network is like a English writing practice after observing online users in forums, reading people's psychology in sicko blogs

[HairyMonkeyMan]

I post very occasionally on hairy.gnn.tv

[CBasicNet]

I blog here (http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Profiles.aspx?mid=88591) though not regularly.

[Bosley16]

I don't have a blog, cos I don't like writing

[Edders]

I don't blog, but I do post on a forum. This one to be precise. :)

IMO blogging has caused the decline of Msdn content.

It used to be (say 5 or 10 years ago), that virtually everything a Windows programmer could ask for was available by searching in Msdn.

Now-a-days, it seems that information is spread out more between blogs, forums, and Msdn. What used to be an Msdn article now more or less ends up being on the personal blog of a feature team developer (which makes it much harder to find).

It's kind of annoying not to have the information in one place.

On the other hand, forum support is way better than in years past, so I guess it's a trade off.

Arjay, You should know that it is always a trade-off os some sort. Remember the days when there was no "online" at all. OR when the concept of even electronic help contained in the application did not exist. The only thing that existed was paper. This had an advantage. I was weasy to read in the restroom, and even possible to access during a an electrical failure. :p :D

Regardining the Blog vs. MSDN Arcticle.... To the best of my knowledge, all of the "official" blogs maintained by the plethora of of MSFT employees (team leads, etc) ARE indexed into the MSDN site., as are the MSDN Forums. So I am not sure why you are having any more difficulty searching....

Perhaps this has changed recently?

[Wombat]

I do blog, but not on technology or programming stuffs.

[Pimpya]

Someone could give me some benefits of blogs, I don't know what they are all about and what for

[tossy]

I write occasionally, technology related posts.

A blog simply allows a person to publish information that others can read and comment on.
