Isnt a good idea to have an internal readbility of blogs in IndiBlogger itself?

The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

I was just wondering, if we can share everything in Indiblogger from the blogs, then how is this? If we can be able to read the blog contents inside IndiBlogger instead of opening individual blogs.

As it is in system that you can directly click on the posts and this will open the post in another page and that will redirect to the blogger's blog. This is fine by using this we can visit the blogger's blog and we can explore that as weel.

But the other option which is there View Post to Promote, that also does the same work but increases the promotion count. What I am suggesting here, if this option can be changed that, when ever this option will be choosed, then the post will open inside the indiblogger window like internal readbility not open the blogger's blog. So that this will keep the reader engaged in IndiBlogger posts instead of going to blogger's blog and also will promote the posts paralelly.

As always mnore option is good for user, user can choose what he/she want to do. This might help more audience and can keep users engaged in more posts and also it will be bit user friendly to read the posts inside IndiBlogger.

This way you will be creating a parallel copy of blog, defeating the purpose of directory.

Plus in that case it is better indiblogger becomes a blogging platform itself

Other issues apart from content duplication are

1.Loss of control of layout

2.Loss of ad revenues for people with ads

3.Loss of website hits of the blogger

I agree with Madhur. If it was being read inside of Indiblogger, then you are just reading the post. Parallelly promoting the post is also something I do not agree with. You click on view post to promote, you aren't promoting the posts immediately. It takes u to the post, then if u read it and like it, then if you want to, you can promote it. No hard and fast rule that you must promote every post. Also, if you are taking the effort and interest to post in your blog and share the same on Indivine, I don't think just a "reader" inside Indiblogger would make you feel just as satisfied as someone visiting the blog (even for a pageview) or getting a new reader and comment (yes, people do do that).

I agree with Madhur too but my point is this may be one of the option not the only option which I am suggesting. And why this will create another copy, this will render the blog page inside IndiBlogger as Readability works in mobiles.

Leo, About the point you mentioned

"If it was being read inside of Indiblogger, then you are just reading the post. Parallelly promoting the post is also something I do not agree with"

This can also be customised, user can choose whether he wants to read inside the blog or want to go to the blog. And there can be another option for promote. This way there will be all option which an user intend to and that also will be user friendly.

This is just an Idea what I am thinking about.

Blogs connect bloggers, IB works as an excellent medium.

The experience of reading a post is enriched by the overall template of the blog apart from the content. A good dish to be appetizing needs to have all the spices in it in the right proportions, you take something/anything out... you dont feel like eating it.

Hi Bishnu, I'm sorry I didn't get the advantage of your point... BTW don't you enjoying entetaining visitors in your blog? Smile

I agree all your opinions. I was thinking of another option for the readers instead of promoters. There are some people in the web who love to read blogs and Indiblogger is a good platform for them also to read. So I was just thinking of this option that instead of visiting every blog, if they want to read here itself, then they could.

I am enjoying IndiBlogger, its helping bloggers in many ways.

Anyways thank you all for your opinions. I appreceate all your views.

Yes as a Blogger I do :)

But again as a reader, it will be easier for me to read all promoted posts in one place :)

OK... now suppose your posts are being read in indiblogger's internal readability mode... hope you can guess there will be handfew fools left to take the pain of visiting your blog.... so, your blog will start feeling neglected.... now thinking this as the present situation try to analyse which is more important to you- keeping your blog (your mind) populated/happy or just the reader's comfort?

now don't tell that you wanted both the facilities coz I explained you how the later will eat away the present flow....
