There are expressions that escape any definition, because everyone gives the definition they want. And one of them is useful content . What is useful content and when can the content of a blog be defined as useful? The article is a response to the post " Incredibly useful content " by Franco Battaglia, who claims to instead write haphazardly, as many bloggers do. The title of his article is taken from the introductory text of my contents section. The blog is always a personal place Reading the comments in that article of good-natured criticism of me, I saw that there is a lot of confusion about what useful content really is.
More than someone has commented saying that they write what they want on their blog, as if writing useful content means the opposite; that the blog risks becoming a pre-organized bulletin; that Special Data the playful aspect is different from the useful one (which is absolutely not true). I also write what I want on my blog. «Blue Pen» has never been a pre-organized bulletin. The playful aspect doesn't interest me, because my blog was created for other purposes. If we go back to the dawn of blogging, what do we find? A personal space in which the blogger – who wasn't called that yet – wrote what he wanted. After all, the very etymology of blog suggests its nature: web log , diary on the web, which a guy has nicely mangled into we blog , or blog for short.
Maybe there was no useful content then? If we think that blogging as we know it today - and which has made many bloggers (but not myself) rich - exists thanks to those spontaneous contents, I would say that they have been more than useful, going well beyond their purpose - which perhaps they didn't even have. , if not to actively participate in the life of the network, or rather to populate it as protagonists and not simply spectators. Yes, the purpose. This is perhaps the key to useful content. Content is useful when it achieves its purpose And isn't the purpose personal? Whether it is recreational, work-related, informative or simply for venting, each blog publishes content for a specific purpose. Whether they are useful is not decided by the blogger, but by the reader.
