RE: The Difference Between A "Post" & A Publication

in #steemit6 years ago

When we take a look at the two words “Post” and “Publication”. I can assure you that we are actually talking about two different terms.
In this article we are talking about two different terms which is a “Post” and “Publication”. Let us analyse the word “post”.
Though, when you say “Post” you will actually be thinking of saying you are publishing a message. But looking at it from this angle, for you to post a short or long messages that is not up to five to ten pages of cover and we call that publishing. It is actually not an original publishing. Though a post is said to be the act of publishing something such as message or picture either from a website or using social media
A post is based for only fan page. Post will never reach entire audience every time. Posts are known as blogs regularly published thinking them as a new updates. Basically you can control many posts display so far you are part of the via admin dashboard.
Notes: Mot URL for a post usually include the publication date. Post usually appear most time on social medias like facebook, twitter, instagram and many more.

Publication is the act of publishing and with that publishing means making information available to the public. They are done most times with issuing printed copies known as documents. Publication is mostly published through contract managed by a website owner or a main owner. Publication have processed and practiced used by book publishing industry like ISBN (International Standard book number), Bibliographic data, copyright and more. These processes usually support the help of underlying the status which is ensuring availability to citizen and most businesses. It usually contain identification by book trade and library all around the community for a long time public period.

NOTE: Publication is for a longtime public record but post is deleted as at when due. That one of the most practical difference of post and publication.

Sort:  

Yes post and publication are two different terms, I was pretty clear about that. Where did you get your information about a publication having to be at least 10 pages? I haven't found any requisite like that in my research.

It is true that posts will not reach an entire audience every time, but that is also true for articles and a little beside the point. In addition all Steemit posts, whether a post or publication, are technically dated.

Although it is true that some publications have printed copies, most do not these days. There are way more online publications than printed ones, otherwise there would be a lot more wasted paper.

Furthermore, we publish to the Steemit blockchain, there is nothing more permanent than that. Anything published on Steemit in managed by Steemit and its authors. Also, posts on other social media like Facebook are not deleted, at least not automatically. So how are those not long-time public records? Especially if that person's posts are public?

All I was saying is that you cannot call your work a publication if it is not mostly original material, which is VERY true. Otherwise it is someone else's publication that has been stolen. And also that a post of just a few lines of text with a couple photos is just general information and is not considered a publication, regardless if that post is dated and permanent or not.

Sorry I am just super confused by some of the things stated here. I think I addressed everything, thank you for your input.
