Well written and Complete or Verbal and Halfway [ Random Thoughts ]
Today I got a very honest comment one of our posts on Random Thoughts where a reader of us said he did not like the post and I was not able to say it clearly what I mean to say. Really appreciate this. That triggered a thought in my mind of coming with this post and express much clearly on what I am trying to do here.
Lets take an example of a post which is Well Written and Complete:
- Excellent English
- Nice explanation with examples.
- Includes Images or any other media like Video and Audio.
- Step wise and clarity so the message is passed.
Effects :
- People love it and praise
- Most of the times these posts have nothing to say except a thanks.
- Unless you are geeky enough there will be very less chance you would come out with more improvement.
What I find is the conversation is reduced between the authors and the readers unless there is scope of debate there.
Now lets take an example of post which is Verbal and Halfway
- It delivers the message like you talk in to your friend.
- It has ideas which might not be accurate.
- It might be biased as “Author speaks what he likes” and expects readers to dicuss like you would expect your friend to get back to you when you discuss with him.
- Its random, no orders , Just what the author feels.
Effects:
- People might not like it as they might not get the idea in the first shot.
- They argue what authors say is wrong and not appropriate.
- Start a conversation which the well formed post failed to achieve.
- The output is 10 times better because you find whats wrong and whats right based on valid arguments.
I gained 50% of what I aimed for with this experiment and these posts. So time for readers feed back.
- Tell us what You actually felt with this series.
- Was it triggering in your mind where some conversation can be made ?
- Was it making you feel that author can be corrected ?
- Or anything what you want to say back to me..
Feel free and lets get the discussion going on .
