This makes me dig through my electronic Concise Oxford English Dictionary (11th Ed) and most simply put, journal is a daily record of personal news and events; a diary. So, this means I foot the bill here, with I am trying to do.
I used to worry. When I create a website, what am I going to put in there. I mean I know content will be the key. But where I do find all these materials? And for how long I have to keep it going before I become successful. Why is it so easy for the many others out there.
I still don’t have an answer here yet. I am just getting a hint. A formula, I would say. If I am able to update this site every day with a little bit of content and keep it there. At the end of the year, I should have something really big. For any boring weekend, I can spend a few more hours of research and do up a little on the web site. Things should be manageable.
This brings to me realize why media companies such as newspapers and magazines are moving online so quickly. They are aware the power of online journalling. Imagine a person who used to spend an hour on the papers is now busy reading a blog or online journal like mine here. The papers and magazine will lose their readership soon. And it is so easy for individual like myself to create such a site and provides tons of personal information that can attract people of the same kind to spend a certain amount of time here. Soon, the advertising firms that really pay the media companies will come knocking on the door. Losing the bargaining power is for sure. This implies a shake-up of the industry as well.
Before I sign off for the day (job done :p), I would like to recommend a white paper. Yes, I know you know there are papers of all kinds of colour. So, what’s so special about a white paper? Ya… probably some of you already guess what a white paper really is, especially the geeks. Do you know that white papers are initially issued by government to enunciate government policy? Hee, do check your favourite encyclopedia for more clarification. Anyway, if you don’t have a minute, it would be interesting know some facts about writing a white paper. Here is the link to it (from your favourite encyclopedia online as well): http://www.stelzner.com/copy-HowTo-whitepapers.php.
