I've been thinking about my first blog post since two days, what the hell should it be about? I had many ideas, but i realized that the best thing to talk about as a first Article is the reason of creating this blog and what will it be about; So could know whether it interests you or not.
Well, I always wanted to discuss and share ideas with other people and I'm actually doing it through social networks such as Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and others. But the problem with these social networks is that the information that we write there is not easily found, easily linked to or searchable by other people, it remains in the website's servers but we can not benefit from it after some moments. Unlike blogs, who are generally 'public', 'searchable', 'relevant' and 'topics-oriented'. I’ve been inspired by Scott Hanselman’s blog post about blogging, he said: “Write a few blog posts a week, with useful content, consistently, for ten years. Then write some more”.
The other reason that motivates me to create this blog is my participation in two conferences last week about Arabic content on the internet, this first one was held in Laghouat on Dec 18th, the second one in Algiers on Dec 20th, both of them were celebrating the Arabic Web Days initiative. I talked during these two events about the State of the Arabic content on the WEB and i gave some solution to increase it, one of the solutions I gave was "Creating relevant blogs", I realized then that even me I do not have a blog, Shame on me you'd say !
To give you a quick view about what this blog is all about, mainly, I'm going to write about technical staff (informatics to be clear), an important part of them
will be in Arabic. Also, I will write about my personal projects like for example the story Halim and I are writing (في صحراء أُسياط). And of course I'll write
about our beloved group which is GDG Algiers (Google Developer Group Algiers) and its activities, highlighting the great experience we're having together.
I think this is enough for a first post, I hope this hasn't made you bored and thanks for your time, that's all. :)
