In this blog assignment I learned that creating a blog is fairly simple but creating a good blog is extremely more challenging. To have a good blog, you have to have followers and be open to discussion on you topic.
Another thing I learned was that not all blogs are created equal but there are two main types of blogs: news blogs and “crazy fanatic” blogs. Some examples of news blogs are found in CityWatchLA, Huffington Post, and the Cunningham Report in which the blogs are more like editorials than articles. These blogs show the opinion of the writer but still have evidence to back it up. In this way, news blogs are more credible and valid than a blog like that of Perez Hilton’s per say. While in “crazy fanatic blogs”, bloggers fully use their first amendments rights to wine, bitch, and bluntly say exactly what’s on their mind with no or little filter. So, if you want to hear the latest gossip that is not likely completely factual, go to a “crazy fanatic blog” but if you want to hear a person’s opinion supported by reason and fact go check out a news blog.
