Finally I decided to get my own space in the web and start spamming officially as opposed to doing it in other's blog-posts as comments. All you experienced bloggers - please welcome this latecomer into your community. And for those of you who still dont have your own myownspace.blogspot.com, thanks for not letting me be the last..
So yesterday, when I created by ID in blogspot and the next screen asked for a custom addressable name for the blogspace, my clicks ended there. I sat down thinking about it. How do I get people to visit my space ? For starters I decided to write down the subject that drive people to the net -
1. Free stuff
2. Sex
Since I coudnt think of anything more, I tried a combination of those two.. say, freeporn.blogspot.com !! and know what - there was already a registered space with that name. And after that I spent the next ten minutes trying out every perumtation of free/cheap/deal and sex/porn/nude (and even gay!) - but no luck. It was all taken.
Giving up that idea, I decided to try out regular (and boring) names.. almost all that I could think of was taken. My curiosity took over me and I started reading some of these blog posts. Many of these spaces were created years back and were updated religiously for about 3-4 months and then abandoned. Godfather, Kewl, secondthoughts, musings, digitalthoughts, lordofblogs, ISaidIt - all taken. I think the latecomers have to pay the price always searching for a name..
Finally as an alternate strategy, I decided to compose a name with the top stuff that I like the most - and those were all food - sweets, karam and coffee.. Coming to think of it, blogs are almost similar to these snacks in one way. We consume each of these and then 'release' them out regularly - there is no direct value add (except for a momentary excitement) and a compulsive obsession is actually harmful to health, but we love them anyway and cant seem to live without them.
Neverthless, as Shakespeare said, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet". So a very uncool rajeev2004.blogspot.com recieves lot of worthwhile traffic than a bunch of the cool-named blogs. So it is not much in the name, but what that goes into that matters. (Or that is what I want to believe anyway).
So finally here I am, stepping into the blogging world. Thanks to all those people who showed the way into this wilderness - Let me see if I regularly blog or end giving up sweet, karam, coffee !
Chao....
