Terence Pillay vs Sandy Nene

Terence focused on blogging on East Coast Breakfast this week. 

Here’s an excerpt from his piece:

I read a lot of blogs. I mean a lot. And for the most part the ones I read are informative and give me a perspective on things that I would not necessarily have thought about. 
But there is a lot of crap out there. I mean a lot! 
You don’t need to be an expert to be a blogger; you just have to have an opinion. But the fact is: you need to remember when you’re reading a blog that it’s just that. It’s somebody’s opinion about something that they are not necessarily an expert in, or that they’ve had any experience in or researched it in any way. They’re just observations. And it must be acknowledged as that.

A number of bloggers criticised Terence on social media with some saying that Terence raised only negative points about bloggers and didn’t focus on the positives. They felt that Terence ignored a lot of the good things the blogging community’s been doing. 

Here’s a look at some of the comments on Terence’s Facebook page:

We brought Terence and Sandy in the studio this morning to hear their views on the issue.

We also wanted to try and get to the bottom of bloggers’ concerns around Terence’s article.
