What You Wrote

Here's what you guys wrote about blogs after the first assignment. If you haven't emailed me write this today and post it write on the site.


An opinionated view on a topic ranging from how someone's day went to a complex world issue.  I
believe it is a more modern way of sharing points of views and letting others comment on your thinking. I think a blog may join people together based on beliefs and agreements as well as give others an opportunity to share their opposing opinion.

Blogs are interesting and compelling websites created by people who want to share their feelings and opinions with others. They are all in a sense like a diary, or a recording of someone's thoughts as well as experiences. Some blogs were written for business and professional reasons, while others are just sights for people to read and respond to. People with blogs on  a particular subject may read and respond to others with similar interest. Blogs are a way to meet or learn more about people, as well as have discussions on issues or even just how someone's day went. Blogs are open ended, and as long as the people who write them stay creative, the blogs will too.

A blog is a web log that is used by the public.  It can be about any topic, from apes to zucchini.   Blogs serve the purpose of giving everyone a voice.  This voice, that use to be only available to some, is now for everyone.   People can use blogs to share their thoughts on worldly events, then others can comment and agree or disagree on them.  It is kind of like a forum but the user controls the flow of things.

I think blogs are used to express an opinion that might not be able to be shared among people around you. They could be shared with people around the world though. Some people just love to write about anything and a blog is a great way to do so. I think a big thing about blogs is, it's a great way to meet people who agree with you and that's always a good thing.

In my mind, blogging allows an alternative forum for conversation, in which people can express viewpoints and react to opinions spontaneously and honestly. Often in class, it is difficult for all students to contribute ideas on the spot due to hesitation, anxiety, or peer pressure. On a blog, there is no pressure, and people can make connections in uncensored ways. Paradoxically, blogging fosters personal connections in a way that is challenging face-to-face. I'm a big fan of blogging!

I believe blogging is a way public communitcation. It allows thousands of people to speak their minds, and write whatever they wish to talk about.
Also, you can think of blogging has not just public communication, but as a way to communicate with yourself. What I mean by communication with yourself, is for example, a diary. Lots of people use Blogs as a journal and way to collect their thoughts. I find blogging I useful way of communication, and can't wait to learn more about the "Blogging World."

A blog is a way to share your view on any topic without being censored. YOur opinion can be heard by people all around the world and you can hear theirs. It is also a way to see how people from different places may react to a certain topic.

Blogs can be used as a way to find people with the same interests, to learn about people in different places, and to learn people's own opinions and knowledge on things.

Blogging
Blogs are a great way to communicate with others. Blogs allow people to get to know their peers throughout their community and inter nationally. It is a great way to express your feelings through technology in a form of an online journal/ diary. Some blogs are used as an outlet for anger, happiness, and sadness. There are blogs out there for businesses, leisure, schools , and dating. very popular blogsites are Myspace ,and Facebook . many people use those sites to get to know more people just like them.Not only can you write your own feelings, but other people can post comments on your blog.If you are a true blogger you use words such as LOL ( laugh out loud) and JK( just kidding). while some people may look t these terms with confusions in the blogging world it is common vocabulary and are understood. Much like the english language abbreviation .Blogging is something that everyone can enjoy and is recommended to all.
