The Function of Blogs :: Internet

The hunt down of BlogsThere are so many a(prenominal) things one could do with the comparatively new medium of blogs. They can be almost anything a somebody wants a journal, a compilement of links, a scrapbook of in excogitateation, or even a preaching board. The only definition Ive seen that can encompass it is that they are postings in filch chronological order. Blogs are the newest Internet craze, but do they serve a purpose? Early on, experienced web users, who knew web-programming language, kept blogs to keep get over of their minds wanderings. They were like a Captains log on the necessitate of discovery (Brown). For the average Internet surfer, they weeded out sites worth viewing from the rest. Now, sites like blogger.com have taken the work with web languages out of blogging, opening it up to the general public. New age blogs are seen as vain egotism publishing by experienced bloggers (Fitcher). I can see their augur, as many inexperienced bloggers seem to ramble on about themselves as if they are to be praised. They only seem to want attention. This has made me wonder, what is the assign of personal blogs? All blogs must have some entertainment jimmy otherwise no one would keep or read them. sport isnt a very commendable purpose, but it has more honour than watching television. It is better to be learning about news events and stating your assent on it than just hearing it. At least then youre developing your ideas, and the reading and writing will help develop communication skills. Bloggers learn to put more thought into what they say, or just the represent of writing daily can help thoughts flow into words. A bloggers thoughts may stem from a news article they recently read. In this case they usually link you to the article and state their opinions, or point out different aspects of it. Their comments are kind of a one- look discourse leading you down their train of thoughts. You can usually reply to what the designer says, but the time delay in responses may result in the authors lack of interest to questions posed. Walt Crawford threw an interesting concept my way in his article, Announcing Cubed Media about Media about Media. Blogs are just another form of media coverage. Our media affects how we think to a great extent. It is always rating other forms of media, and many blogs are no exception (Crawford).
