What is this "We" thing?

Look, I don't wanna get in a forum spat, but like I said, FOR ME it's annoying. It may be "fine" but it just rubs me the wrong way for whatever reason.

 

what s wrong if they write "we", "We" is for both the venture and the owner syntax.

 

Most writing critics say not to use "I" so I believe we just natuarally gravitate to "we" as a substitute for "I". I catch myself doing that.

I catch myself using we, so that I don't use I so much. The critics say not to use I when writing so as a substitute I use we.

Advertise with us vs Advertise with me

 

That says it all!!!

 

I do sometimes.
I don't know why actually, but I do))

 

I used to always use "we" but on my latest project, I have been using "I" as I think its makes the site more personal and users feel more comfortable. Does anyone else share my opinion.

 

Yes, when I get a call for services, I use "we" to act more professional. Even, if it is a blog. I sell services through a blog as well. Remember.

 

you got great observation..but i guess, "we" give you better ranking in other person's view than "I" can.

 

I think that is an exception. We can also use "Our sponsors". "My sponsors" sounds so stupid. But some people use "about us", "contact us" and such sort of stuff which I don't like.

 

I think it depends of what type of blog it is.

I use both.

One of my blogs is very informal opinion based, so I use "I". The other is more an informative, factual blog attached to a 1000+ page site, which easily appears to be a team of people, so I use the "we" - even though the blog simply consists of me writing of course

 

It sounds a lot more professional then I and me. Also since your talking about yourself and the website sometimes, then your talking about "us" (website and you). My sponsor is not necessarily my websites sponsor, thus only advertisers which suit both website and myself are shown.
Theres your we.

 

If it is a one-person company trying to sell a product or service, then I completely understand the use of plural pronouns, as it will give the impression that it isn't just a small start-up with a single employee. For personal blogs, however, it makes no sense.

 

Me & My company LOL

 

You speak the truth my friend, people would rather advertise with a company that looks larger. But in certain circumstances such as freelance designing, the personal touch is just what you need

 

I only use "we" if I really mean "we"!
