A lot of bloggers are dealing with these issues.
for many people, sticking with a social network makes a lot of sense.
Obviously, if you're work is good and you particpate in the community,
people will get to know you.
A couple reasons why other people like to maintain their own site:
--A blog is an artform in itself. I want to be able to design it
anyway I want...with all the functionality I want.
--i want my own URL.
--i expect the current popular social media nettwork to be unpopular
in 5 years. It may be almost impossible to pull out old posts from
that site.
--I'm documenting my life and want to make sure I "own" my information.
--i want to sell ads on my own site and not deal with someone else's
terms of service.
I see many vloggers finding the happy medium.
They upload to Youtube or wherever.....but then archive the videos on
their own blog that has their own look. Best of both worlds.
