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.
