A blog is an online journal, or diary. You can post anything you want on there; it’s kind of like having your own webpage. I think blogging has become such a popular tool in the last 3 or 4 years because businesses can pay to advertise their products on people’s pages, you can make money from your blog if it is very popular, and because it is a fun way to share pictures or to share information. According to the article, blogs are being used as family blogs, community blogs, educational blogs, and business blogs. If I were to create a blog it would be about school and cute puppies and my audience would be my teacher and my classmates.

In the article the blog that’s being used is an informational blog for students. If I were to create a blog it would be about firefighting and EMS, since that is what I want to do when I’m older. My audience would be other firefighters and EMTs, or anyone who is interested in that profession.

According to the article, blogs are being used in entertainment, politics, commerce, news, libraries and in education. If I were to create a blog, it would be about dogs and my audience would be any pet lovers.

Blogs are being used in many different ways, they are used to write about a special author, movies, war blogs, library logs, and education blogs ect. If I was to write about a blog it would probably be about movies. There is always a new movie out and people don’t know if they are good or not so I could go watch them and write my opinion about it on a blog.

Their blogs all range from many different subjects such as, library blogs, education blogs, community blogs, family blogs, and so on. Anyone can make one about anything. If I were to create a blog, it’d probably be about new music from underrated bands. My targeted audience would be anyone interested into it, and don’t like much mainstream-pop music either. I think it’d be great to have a blog where people can share songs and videos of their local bands, and comment their opinions. Especially since sometimes it’s hard to find good music on YouTube with the infinite amount of videos.

DeleteA blog is a type of chat room in which both the creator(s) and the readers are free to post whatever information and thoughts they please, without the fear of censorship.

Blogs are being used by individuals, incorporations, and schools, and there are also different types of blogs that certain groups of people can use. About five million people are said to be blogging nowadays, so it makes sense that so many different kinds of people and organizations find blogs useful.

My intended audience would be young adults, and I would try to help unconfident teenagers as well as those who tend to bully and get into trouble by posting facts and things to consider that should change the way they think.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea. Unfortunately with all of these Web 2.0 tools, we have also run into numerous cases of cyber bullying:(
