Amith Prabhu writes a blog like many other tech savvy individuals do. But what makes him a commendable blogger is the fact that his blog addresses and touches upon various facets of Crisis and Communication management, Employees engagement, Brand positioning, Media relations and Strategic planning, all under one roof.

Amith sees himself as a Public Relations practitioner who loves electoral politics, fascinated by brands and enjoys philosophy. Most importantly, the buck doesn’t just stop there. His blog also accounts for much talked about topics of prominence and opinions pertaining to and not just restrictive to, happenings and trends but also sporadic posts about his own personal life as well.

In a manner of speaking, Captain Anup Murthy, our Blogger of the Fortnight, who has over 25 years of experience in the field of aviation, has justifiably contributed to this ever growing sector in ways more than one.

There are bloggers who try to do too many things and destroy their blog. Then there are bloggers who are so specific and niche that until they talk about matters you follow closely, you wouldn’t want to return to them. A good blog is one that can balance the need to be refreshing without doing too much. One such blog, Rheality Rings by Rhea Purnita Paine, is a classic example of a blog that reinvents itself with every post without losing its character.

The Truth

While 800 million people may be on Facebook, it would be interesting to see how many of them would actually go ahead and use this platform or any other social media platform for that matter for actual banking transaction.
