Final Analysis

I feel that going into this project I already had a great deal of experience with blogging, but this assignment forced me to notice the differences between the varying kinds, as well as how they are used by the public. I do feel this was a worthwhile assignment because it shed new light on the blogging world. Prior to this project my overall view on the blogoshpere was that the vast majority of it was mucked up by personal livejournal pages and the like. I knew there were a number of worthwhile blogs out there, but I had no idea how many there actually were. Setting up my own blog in order to research blogs seemed a little strange at first, but it did provide me with hands on experience on the matter. After the assignment I have seen that my thesis did not change one bit. If anything it was reaffirmed and strengthened as well.

Module 4

For this portion of the project I searched for a vanity blog and came up with http://dewline.livejournal.com/ which is set up the same as any other blog, but relates strictly to the creator. Every post has a very direct and personal relationship to the individual poster, and gets responses primarily from their own friends.

I found a uk news blog at the url http://boingboing.net which, as seen in previous modules, pertains to the specific news. This blog does not adress news in terms of locality oer say, but rather of interest. It informs the audience on news in the weird science realm, news which is certainly not covered by most mainstream media.

Blogging lends itself quite well to both of these forms of informative writing. It would be nearly impossible to fund the production of this for of news otherwise. This way there is an audience of millions if not billions of internet users who can pick and chose the news they find pertinent or entertaining.

I feel this strongly supports my initial notions on blogging.
