MandS280 Combined Class Blog – Future???

Our blog has become boring and unexciting since we have come back after winter holidays.
There are no more interesting posts by anyone these days. Now most of us do not bother visiting it even once in a week.

The present situation of our blog shows that no one will be using this platform in future as soon as this semester will be finished.

I presume that using this “Combined Class Blog” is an excellent idea to stay connected as a whole batch and it will help us to continue living united. So we must not quit in any case!!!

i agree to this point that this blog is only loaded with marketing stuff but we can also use this blog for contact in future. i'll say that students should post something interesting so thatall of us stay connected forever.

well yes this blog has lost its char & we need to turn the situation around & the idea of connectivity is nice.

However, this concept of blogging introduced as a class activity has turned into a personal activity as well. I don't make a lot of post in here as its only restricted to marketing concept but I have become a egular blogger as far as my personal blog is concerned & its fun.

It's interesting to see that Fatima and I think of commenting on the same posts... :)


Anyways....Rizwan, the point is that there are reasons as to why the blog is losing its charm.

The level of participation on the blog depends on the kind of stuff being posted.
Now, in a week day 10 to 12 blogs are posted....but the problem is that only two or three of them are original ones. The rest are thngs copy pasted.
It really turns one off to see such posts. U dnt have much to comment....u cant start a discussion...etc.

The more students come up with original ideas.....the more exciting this blog wld be. For instance, have a look at Osama's post on a case analysis regarding pricing...It was a breath of fresh air after seeing a bunch of copy pastes. We actually had a good discussion as well.

Until and unless we continue sharing our genuine thoughts on the masterblog.....we're all goin to stay connected.

I agree.
But till now it seems that not too many people are interested in it. I wish if we could keep staying in touch via this medium.

Fatima Arif said...

haha..Fizza great minds think alike..lol

I think during this semester we have been restricted mainly to marketing & rightly so. However after the semester ends posts regarding other topics can also be included & that might get more n more of use attracked to this blog.

this blog shud be used not for only marketing purposes but also for interesting information that we need to share.
basically people are posting stuff written in books so it dose ot give a scope of disscusions.
