TAG #1

MY BLOG: The last sentence in this reading stated “Bloggers arnt letting 900 million people read their diary, but they are letting standing before 900 million, sometimes in an attitude of indifference, sometimes with the hope of reaching out to new people in the ever-expanding blogoshpere. I found this article and this last line interesting as it outlines how many different ways in which a blog is used. A blog can very well be used in a form of a diary, and some blog entries are specifically that. Blogs are also used for updating people on events and activities that are going on in ones lifes, they are used as a way of influencing others. By writing your opinions and ideas into a blog, when others read that blog your ideas are being passed onto them. A blog can also be used in order to gain others opinions and feedback on a topic. Some blogs are used as a way of stress release. by writing about emotional times, it can be away of letting go of these emotions. Blogs are also used commonly by scholars as a way of working through their ideas by writing them out and processing through them in that way. Before this course i didnt know anything about blogging. I now know that blogging can be personal, impersonal, spiritual,educational, social, commercial etc. Blogging is an increasingly popular pasttime with huge potential.

THE BLOG I FOUND THROUGH TAGGING: December 7, 2005 at 8:12 am | In Blog |
I’m now on WordPress, and I must say this is some amazing software. It’s free and open-source, what more could I ask for? Not much, really.

THE LINK BETWEEN THESE TWO BLOGS: I tagged my blog under the category ‘blog’. This blog came up also tagged under ‘blog’ along with a whole load of rubbish as well. It may seem strange that I have chosen such a short and simple post to link to my post but the reason I have done this is because I believe that sometimes less is more. In my post I am talking about the different uses of a blog and that I have discovered it as a new way of communicating and accessing information. In my post I said “Blogging is an icreasingly popular pasttime with huge potential” In this blog that I found to link to mine it states “..Its free and open-source, what more could I ask for?” Its clear to see that this post I have linked with mine has the same idea running that blogging has such huge potential, hence why I have linked it.
