Blogging the "New Thing"

Blogging being the new trend is rising to a great extent. Many millennials are coming up with their personal blogs and they mainly focus on travel, lifestyle, food and fashion, or a combination of all four. Blogging is a way for people to express their opinions and feelings.

Blogging is a great way to approach the general public and a huge portal for discussion. Since blogs are more personal and youth based college students relate to the creators thoughts. I’ve enjoyed having to do a blog for this module and this experience has been different, I realized my future goals more precisely.

One of the new factors I learnt about blogging is 'Live streaming’; this factor is currently trending in the digital world and all of the popular social media companies are coming up with the "live" feature.

Blogging definitely has an impact on our society already and I believe that its still on the rise and hasn’t reached its full potential yet as a social media trend. People are making their careers out of blogging and indeed are very successful. Blogging is a great advertising tool and many companies approach the famous bloggers worldwide for marketing purposes.

A few of the blogs I follow are “streakhuefall” by Kavya D’Souza, “balsamicfinegear” by Nriti S and “fashionbyfofo” by Fofo Alsaeed.
