You do not blog? Why?

Someone, correctly pointed out that there are people in the blogosphere that although they do not have their own blog, they are a part of this virtual sphere. They are active members of this system since they read others blogs and/or provide their comments, ideas etc.

This is another sphere then, the outer disk, surounding the blogosphere; encompassing interested readers that may someday become bloggers themselves or not. I guess that this is the case for the vast majority of those who now own their own blog; they started by reading others blogs.

So, which is the reason then that some people tend to stay in the outer sphere and never consider moving to the inner sphere ? Is it more interesting reading at others thoughts, is it time consuming to maintain your own blog, is it something that you always wanted to do but for some reason this never materializes?

Those of you that belong to this sphere, can vote in the corresponding poll.

Why do you blog ?

Why do you blog? Why do I blog? Why do we blog ?

It sounds like a set of philosophical questions!

But really if you think about which was the reason that made you wanting to exist in the blogsphere ?

I suppose, a number of reasons ...but which in particular was your driving force? You wanted to exist out there (or out here really) so which was your motivation? at least in the beginning and has this stayed the same through out your blogpresence ? or has the blogsphere changed you is some way ?

Where to look for these answers ? I turned to the mbitbloggers about answers !

Until I decode their views, do let me know how you feel and answer the poll that has been create for this reason.

Mobile World Congress 2008

The 2008 GSMA Mobile World Congress is taking place in Barcelona this year.

Yesterday a collaboration was announced between Nokia and Google.

Easy to guess ! Google's search to Nokia cuustomers worldwide.

The popular search engine will be integrated with the Nokia search application starting with selected markets (Nokia N96, Nokia N78, Nokia 6210 Navigator, Nokia 6220 classic) and extended to additional Nokia models.

Nokia search with google will be made available to customers in more than 100 countries and more than 40 languages.

This blog was created as a part of an experiment.
Well, the idea was that for the current semester (Spring 2008) MBIT students at AIT will create a blog as a part of their project in the E-business course so I decided to join their effort and create one as well.

hello world !
