Is a blog similar to a messageboard? whats the difference? Thanks

.... a blog is YOURS to tell anybody who looks what's up with you etc, a MB is for everyone to discuss stuff.
geek_martha08May 16, 2008, 12:29 pm#3
But on your blog, if you want, can you allow other people to comment and add question etc?
geek_0800xfordMay 16, 2008, 12:33 pm#4
.... yeah, you are a mod of your own blog. check out some blog FAQs
geek_0800xfordMay 16, 2008, 12:35 pm#5
.... https://www.blogger.com/start doesn't look too hideous, there are millions to choose from. recommendations anyone?

WordPress is the only one I've used before. It was good.

Can a blog be more about say a product than myself. And by starting a blog on a product I am generating more interest and information about that product?

.... try myspace for a product. are you SELLING it or you just like it and want to spread the good word?
geek_martha08May 16, 2008, 12:54 pm#9
Would like to sell it. Not a big myspace fan. .

.... myspace is hideous. maybe pick a few blogsites and check the FAQ to see if you can sell via their site?

Yeh I am just looking. I like vidblogs.com. I however am wanting to create my own blog website and will market it also

Would think a blog is the best way to market a product....What's wrong with a basic "brochure" website? Alot of Hosting packages offer free script installation for Content Management sites...where you'd add pages, have a contact form etc. Hosting around $100 a year, domain names say $30 That's only around $10 a month for 24/7 "advertising" If you are promoting it other ways just include the site address.

Oopsss wouldn't think a blog...

Yeh I'm looking at more creative ways of getting the potential buyers and the product owner on the same page, and talking about it. Kinda like this messageboard, people post up topics and everyone swarms with their answers and info. I guess I am looking to create a more reciprocal process
geek_soodanimMay 16, 2008, 2:00 pm#15
Can I ask what the "product" is? Is it a "thing" or a "service" or ?
geek_soodanimMay 16, 2008, 2:01 pm#16
You could still have all the info AND a messageboard, I would hate to go to a site about a "product" and find a messageboard....if there was one available for q and a, fair enough, but don't make it the "homepage"
geek_martha08May 16, 2008, 2:03 pm#17
I would be a service for people use. Kinda like a messageboard but maybe a little more succinct
geek_martha08May 16, 2008, 2:05 pm#18
Lol opps I meant 'it' not I .
