The title of blogger has to be earned

[sumaiyakhatun25]

Michał Górecki has been writing about the blogosphere lately. I give a like to each subsequent post, because I absolutely agree with them. Under the like of the latest one – about the unforeseen development of the blogosphere – a standard discussion on the topic of “bloggers and journalists” has begun on my profile .


The conservatively minded audience places the latter above them. One of the basic arguments in defense of this thesis is: because journalists publish in media with an established reputation, a large group of recipients, and bloggers south africa rcs data are such frivolous children writing diaries, which they get bored with after the first entry.

I don't want to get into defining a blogger, because it's a bit of a vicious circle. The problem is that spreading the opinion of "anyone who has a blog is a blogger" leads to such misunderstandings. Abuse, one might say.

No, not everyone who has a blog is a blogger. You have to earn the title of blogger . By writing consistently. By building a community and staying in touch with it. By growing statistics. By any other criterion that is usually used to measure the popularity of a blog.

An unread blogger is no blogger at all.

I'm not writing this to annoy anyone. To exclude them from the blogosphere, to stigmatize them. I realize that we can't say: "anyone with less than 5 thousand unique followers is an asshole, not a blogger" or "anyone who doesn't have a thousand fans is as if they didn't have a blog". The reasons are obvious. The blogosphere is not a coherent entity. It is the complete opposite of coherence. Hence the definitional problems.
