My blog of HR, and technology stuff Thu, 17 Aug 2006 04:20:44 +0000 http://recruitomatic.amitaigivertz.com/?p=51#comment-104 [...] Amitai Givertz is lamenting today about his lack of (??) success and how on earth his blog can get noticed out of the 50 million blogs now out there. The Recruiting Animal suggests quite rightly that while the blogosphere is very large, the audience for recruiting blogs is quite small. The end result seems to be that Amitai decided to blog for himself, always a good move. (Amitai if you want to blog for profit you must subscribe to ProBlogger.) There are lots of types of blogs and lots of reasons. There are 3 main types, link based, expert commentary and breaking news, of course most blogs are a mashup of all 3. However there are more reasons than I can list as to why people blog, but the point being you must enjoy what you do and why you do it.

Do not give into temptation to blog for someone else. Blogging is about the conversation not status. A little statistic you might like is your current Technorati Rank is 120226 with blogs linking to you 136. The Animal is currently 110392 (mainly cause he changed sites) only 1 step above you in the Recruiting blogosphere. Amitai you should blog for you, no one else.

Regardless of what it starts out to be, it will probably evolve as you do... Take mine for example, almost 2 years ago I started it to discuss technical (IT) stuff I encounter everyday at Microsoft. It has evolved into much more than just that simply by the fact that I started allowing my personality and interests to show through. I have very, very little to do with recruiting, yet I'm participating in the blog swap because it intrigued me. Regarding writing style...everyone's style is different. I suggest you take the criticisms with a grain of salt while trying to learn from them, but just do what feels right for you. Best of luck!
