> BlogTalk paper: personal characteristics that support blogging.

Responses to the Question 7. Which personal characteristics support blogging?

Somehow I[base ']ve got into a funny style with this one :) So, the collective portrait of bloggers.

Bloggers

  • have passionate curiosity and eager to discover new things
  • like, feel easy, have a habit or want to improve writing
  • care about passing ideas or [base "]paying back[per thou] to their community
  • are not afraid to expose ideas at the early stage
  • have a desire to collect, organise and connect ideas
  • like explaining
  • believe that articulation helps understanding
  • look for a feedback and critical discussion
  • like conversations
  • believe that sharing and open discussion are important to craft understanding, to progress and to create a better world
  • like networking
  • don[base ']t mind or even want exposure

Some bloggers

  • are introverts
  • actively looking for new contacts
  • [base "]have a bad memory[per thou]
  • believe that [base "]if you don[base ']t express and talk you won[base ']t reach out[per thou]
  • are educators with [base "]a desire to connect with the learners in as many authentic ways as possible[per thou]
  • [base "]hate secrets and lack of openness[per thou]

My conclusions in brief:

Coming to the previous entry (posted on purpose ;): it seems that most bloggers belong to the [base "]knowledge seekers[per thou] and [base "]knowledge sharers[per thou] tribes.
