I Am Not a Blogger!!!

Blogs, Blogs, Blogs... Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin....

There is immense pressure these days on most of us to BLOG! If you want to increase your visibility - BLOG! If you want to attract Employers - BLOG! If you want to increase your Network - BLOG! If you don't want to be left behind - BLOG!

So we see many Blogs being published nowadays.  Some that make huge sense and some that make no sense at all... All thanks to the changing trends and compelling circumstances...

And once someone Blogs, I often wonder, how many of us give a genuine reading, likes or comments... Many a times, its just a "Follow The Trend..." Mr/Ms X liked it so I should like it too or the Blogger is Influential, I should impress him/her by giving positive comments...

I ain't any Blogger but the e-Bug has caught on to me and am trying to Catch-up too! Now do I make sense? The "Follow Me" trend is catching on and I impatiently watch the comments and counts of "Like" go up... Is this how one feel after writing a blog?

Expressions like, "Hey! He liked my article. Hey! He visited my profile. Hey! He only liked but did not comment..." are some thoughts that go in my mind. Am I unique in this though process or do all writers go through the same syndrome? And to top it all, social networking sites, help you with all sort of analytics' to keep you engaged! The day by day visibility trend, the demographics of visitors where they come from, etc. Oh Boy! Now ain't I getting noticed!!!

The pace at which this trend is catching up, many are improving their writing skills while many others are sharing their experiences contributing to a more informed world...Yet there are some who simply follow these write-ups and have not yet ventured in to the art of writing...

Now the question is "How many of  you are going to be inspired to write?"

Many of my connections tell me - "Vikram, it was a good article...(Do they really mean it?) "Yet, I believe, I AM NOT A BLOGGER!!!
