Good Blog Writing Style

By Live Digest on Oct 12, 2006 in 互联网, 博客, 英文文章, 速记

Here is a good reference article on Good Blog Writing Style. The major points are listed here and you can find more on the original post:

  1. Use descriptive headlines that reveal the point of the article without further reading; the key here is to create microcontent that can fare well on its own.
  2. Write in inverted pyramid style
  3. The first link is the one most people click on, so it should also be the main link for your article.
  4. In each longer post, re-introduce core ideas you mention.
  5. Use lists, images, tables, sub-headlines, examples, indented notes, indented quotes, icons, colors, bold and italics to lighten up your article and make it easier to scan it.
  6. With a global audience it’s never a good idea to only use sophisticated words not everyone may know.
  7. Credit your sources with a mention and link.
  8. Mark updates and changes (and do update and change when readers find something wrong in your writing).
  9. Spellcheck your posts, and read them for clarity once or twice before posting.
  10. To practically all of these rules there are exceptions.

博客之后是威客,掘客和换客

原载新华网2006年10月10日:博客之后是威客、掘客和换客 网上赚钱有新招

“威客”:用智慧赚取闲钱

“威客”是指在网络互动问答平台上用自己的技能、知识、智慧获取财富的人。英文名称为witkey,意思是智慧的钥匙。

猪八戒威客网的“高额悬赏”上,“悬赏100元,给我聪明、顽皮又漂亮的宝贝女儿起个名”、“悬赏1000元,为我公司设计一个太阳能热水器的LOGO图标”、“悬赏100元,为我的婚宴征集小游戏活跃一下婚礼气氛”的信息让人目不暇接。

“威客”模式受到越来越多的关注,以猪八戒威客网为例,两日内访问量由原先的1千个独立IP增长到1万个,点击量超过10万次,悬赏任务数从之前8个月累积的101个猛蹿至228个。

网上的任务酬金往往不及市场价格的五分之一甚至十分之一,超低价对客户而言具有很大诱惑力。而对于一些闲散智者来讲,这也是笔无本生意。在QQ群中,一位在校大学生告诉记者,前两天在网上接了个LOGO设计的“生意”,轻而易举赚了500元。

威客网一般规定,任务发布方在发布任务前,必须将任务酬金先打到网站指定账户上,且必须接受网站方“永不退款”的协议。

武汉威客网负责人郭玮表示,这个规定是保证“威客游戏”能顺利进行下去的核心规则。一方面可以调动参与者的热情,使参与者不会产生完成任务收不到款的顾虑,另一方面用以约束客户一些不负责任的行为。

按规定,交易成功后,网站要从悬赏金额中提取20%的“佣金”。相比其他新兴的web2.0应用,威客模式最显著的优势在于拥有一个相对清晰的商业模式。只要有任务发布,网站就能获得继续发展的资金,以维持网站运营及获利。
