Thing #4

Blog writing seems to be very free. The people that have created blogs are writing to those that support them, share their ideas or even oppose them. However, the blogs reflect personality and individuality. Blogs are read with great ease; almost as if you were listening to someone speak. Blogs are full of emotion and convey an interest. The writing is relaxed and directed to a specific audience. When someone leaves a comment it creates a link between the reader and the writer. At that point the commenter may agree or disagree and this is where the different viewpoints are establish and discussed. Blogging is a different type of literature since there is exchange of ideas. Now, in blogging people write to share and contribute to a community of learners that share similar ideas. Blogging promotes learning, because questions may be asked and then the community responds with answers, solutions and creativity.

  1. I agree. Blogs are an editorial of what other people, feel, think, and consider important. It is a very personal type of writing that doesn't have to conform to any specific writing formula. Many times blogs seem to have their own language.
