Personal Web is just a variation of the forum

A blog is a place where people give opinions and discuss certain topics. However, many experts believe that "a lot of masters", one on one blog makes it hard for the reader to identify useful information.

In a recent survey of lecturers at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (USA), marketing professor Xavier Dreze affirmed: "The blog is ultimately just a new style forum, for those who cannot afford it. talk about topics that people are interested in traditional forums . "

Dreze didn't read the blog because he " never drew the final conclusion. Dozens of people joined in, voiced their opinions and many of them didn't rely on any base ."

Saikat Chaudhuri, another professor, also expressed doubts about the above information value of this community. He said that personal web content is quite spread and poor quality, and the blogger's point of view actually originated from the judgment of experts.

In contrast, Dan Hunter, who takes on the business ethics at Wharton, often skips about 50 blogs a day updating news about technology, intellectual property, video games, architecture and interior design. "The personal Web provides all the information I need, both professionally and in everyday life ," Hunter said.

Lecturer Kevin Werbach also browsed to 300-400 daily blogs thanks to the NetNewsWire management tool and affirmed that the blogging community gave him insights on many issues he was not familiar with.

Meanwhile, professor of information management J. Michael Steele uses personal web as a tool to communicate with students. He regularly posts lectures, homework . on the blog so that students can easily access and check information.
