Blogosphere fever
This had to come, I was itching to get into this controversy.
The blogosphere is currently suffering from a serious bout of guest post fever.
Why guest posts??
* Everyone has a blog, at least everyone who writes a guest post on someone's blog. Well, almost everyone.
* I haven't seen many guest posts, only invitations for them. *wink*
* A blog/web log is supposed to be a dairy on the web. Do you invite others to fill up your dairies? That's the purist view.
* Amitabh Bachchan's blog does not host guest posts. Neither does Aamir's , Salman's or Sobhaa's. Nor do the celebs write any guest posts. Ain't we supposed to ape them?
* At the end of the day, isn't this just a way to show off how popular your blog is?
To tell the truth, I have run out of reasons now.
But also consider that......
* Someone might want to write something about something on someone's blog.
* I haven't read many blogs. I might be missing.
* A web log is not exactly a diary. You do not show your diaries to people.
* Amitabh Bachchan's blog is boring. Sorry Sir, I hope you will understand.
* I have an unpopular blog. Grapes are sour.
* I find the idea pretty interesting.
So maybe I would like to host some guest posts myself. Someday when I'm confident that some people would be interested. Till then, I'm happy criticizing.
