You Are Twitter

You are energetic to the point of being hyperactive. You are the ultimate multitasker. You don’t have much of an attention span for anything. You like things short and sweet. You can’t help but let everyone know what you’re doing, even if it’s just what you’re having for dinner. You are big on sharing what’s going on in your life. If anything, you share too much!

Are You Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter?

My entry for Letter M Blogging for Fun Meme

Well, that’s the opinion of most people who used to frequent that torrent download site. Because now Mininova is just accepting non-copyrighted videos, ebooks, music, etc. from its users. All the pirated stuff are all gone. Vanished. And that’s why there are a lot less of users right now.

I applaud this latest move from the people behind Mininova. It’s about time that we stop piracy. There’s nothing more hurtful than taking advantage of other people’s intellectual rights because it IS thievery.

Perhaps it’s just about time that people become more creative and start producing their own, original and quality stuff and share it to the world. Just think about the user-made and submitted YouTube videos. There are already a lot of these people who have had their 5-minute of fame because of their effort.

I have thought of this topic while I am thinking of what to write for our Blogging for Fun meme called “Fun Friday”. Since we are to write something that starts with letter ‘G’ then I thought of Group Blogging as a good topic.

Are you into Group Blogging?

Yes, I am for a time. But I didn’t get to interact much with my fellow bloggers for sometime. And this is very important if you are into Group Blogging.

Group Blogging Defined

As for me, group blogging is a collaborative blogging activity. So you start it by forming a certain group (whether formal or informal) and working on a specific task at hand to achieve results. You can do this using a single blog (with articles written by different authors) to publish your posts or individual members will only talk about a specific topic and will publish it in their own blogs.

Group Blogging involves working with great blogger's minds

You can talk about these things to your fellow members before starting any group blogging project.

• Purpose
• Topic
• Method
• Evaluation

Purpose

What’s in it for the bloggers to participate in this group blogging activity? You can discuss this to your fellow bloggers so you can set expectations as to the goal of your blogging efforts. Are you doing this to add spice to your content, discuss a specific topic using different points of view, share link love or fill in the gaps in your blogging activity? Take your pick. Make sure that this will be clarified before you move on to the next step.

Topic

Set the theme before you go ahead and write it. It can be imposed by the leader of the group bloggers or the members can pitch in their suggestions and choose among those topics as their final pick. I believe that this collaborative blogging activity will be more successful if members will be given a chance to choose their preferred topic to encourage more participation from their members.

Method

Let’s go back to the definition above. You can vote on whether you will use a single blog or member’s blogs for publishing your stuff. Will you adhere to a specific publishing schedule or will just observe a time table instead?

Evaluation

After you publish your work online, you can do a variation of appreciating your fellow member’s work through posting comments, promoting them through various social networks and linking to their post, among others. This will highly encourage them to keep participating and even promote this activity to other people, thus bringing in more members in the process.

Share your experience

So that’s group blogging in essence. If you have been into group blogging please share your experience working on it. Or if you haven’t experienced it, tell me why you haven’t tried it since you started blogging. I’ll be thrilled to check your comments.

I’m done with my share of making money online for this week. So while I am waiting for the next set of online opportunities, I remembered a fun, yet easy task to share here in my blog.

This theme is called Fun Friday, the first ever theme that we have for our Blogging for Fun yahoogroup. The rule is just to share five random things about you. In this post I will share five random things about me, being an Online Diva.

1. ) I have six dot.coms, 1 blogspot.com and 1 wordpress.com blogs. This is to organize my thoughts as I wear different roles everyday of being a call center trainer, fiancee, part time freelancer, online diva and chef’s daughter among others.

2.) I can stay online for more than 5 hours on weekdays and 15 hours on weekends. This is to work on my different blogs, network with my other blogger friends and google on a lot of stuff.

3.) I usually listen to music while researching on some stuff online. Right now, I am listening to Ant and Dec’s When I Fall in Love ( that’s sooo 90′s for me now LOL! ).

4. ) I am always interested to have friends overseas. I frequently send them snail mails and postcards and because of that, I was able to collect postage stamps from different countries (aside from those provided by my Dad).

5.) When I’m out, I still want to make sure that I have an online access for my blogging needs. I can stay in a coffee shop for hours, sipping cold drinks while blogging.

So that explains how I became a (self-proclaimed) online diva. How about your fun friday stuff? What were some random things that you do online?
