Weblogging: We Blog or Web Log?
Don’t try to think about a right choice. There’s a connection between the two terms.
Usually, people start blogging because they need to interact, by creating, writing and speaking things out loud; and people start logging into their web pages for the same reason.
Yes, we all know, the web offers you the chance to behave and be different from reality; but if people think that it is possible to create, speak or write anything, express any kind of comment, try just to put the words on your webpage as they come into your mind.
Well, nobody will notice your content; unless you have a lot of spontaneously-SEO writing skills that could help you positioning on the first pages of search engines and people could be able to see your link.
Be able to merge your creativity to the technical skills for online marketing is very difficult; you have to study a lot, or better, to experience with this field. It’s like if you should agree to a compromise, the weblogging compromise.
Just try to limit your stream of consciousness and submit – but not too much – to market rules.
These are our suggestions:
– Think about what you would like to tell the world.
– Then think about what the world would search on the web.
– Then link these two thoughts: you’ll realize they could have something in common.
– This is the key, or better these are the keywords: just use them to categorize your contents.
– Think always to your potential, don’t let these rules overpass your writing rhythm, syntax
and Kreativity.
Compromise solution. Double sense.

You’re not the only one in this kind of situation, for sure; someone can understand and share your mood…
The solution is: think different and ‘optimize’ your work by trying to consider it from another point of view!

Not so virtual net-words
Have you ever listened to people talking about ‘internetting’ or saying “I’m a netpreneur” or have you ever read about ‘netnography’?
Well, if you think they’re related to the NET world, you’re right, but let’s find out the exact meaning…
…and don’t worry, because while writing this article, also Microsoft Office Word dictionary doesn’t recognize these ‘high-tech-nical terms’! 
So, starting from the first-mentioned term, here you are a little list:
– ‘Internetting’ or ‘interneting’: to make use of the Internet, finding information or tips, suggestions, whatever; and also, the use of Internet in the communication field, considering for example emails, instant messages, chatlines, etc…;
– ‘Netpreneur’, in this way is defined the man that is entrepreneur in the internet world; pay attention to not mistake with the definition of ‘virtual entrepreneur’…it could sound a little bit ‘offensive’;
– ‘Netnography’, as you could imagine, is the branch of ethnography that studies the behaviour of people on the Internet through the online marketing research tools;
– ‘Netizen’ – easy – it derives from the combination of the words ‘internet’ and ‘citizen’, so it describes people who are member of ‘internet society’;
– ‘HCO-Human Contents Optimization’, to be differentiated by SEO, because after considering all the technical strategies aspects, we also have to take into account the human aspect, the real mind that create the content;
– ‘Netspeak’, speaking with the usual abbreviations, symbols and acronyms of Internet;
Referring to the last net-word, if you’re sufficiently curious about this topic, there’s a specific dictionary at your disposal – Netspeak.org – here you can find all the net-words you want!
