A blog is an online journal where you can say whatever you want. I believe blogging has become so popular because you can say whatever you want and have other people with similar beliefs be able to read your blogand agree with you. Blogs are being used in schools, venues, and all over for all different topics and reasons. If I was going to create a blog, it would be all about funny cat pictures. My intended audience would be cat lovers everywhere.

ReplyDeleteA blog is an online weblog publishing tool which you can create on anything and can be viewed by the whole world. I believe blogging has become such a popular tool throughout the last three or four years because many people want to share their interests and it’s a way to tell family and friends how they are doing. It is estimated that over fifty million people are blogging now. Blogs are being created and used in various places. These include: schools, libraries, war, in the community, and around daily work. If I were to create a blog, it would be about all of my favorite professional sports including: Baseball, Basketball, and Football. I’m a huge fan of sports, so this would be my best interest. There could be biased opinions as well, but I would try and avoid the best that I could with my intended audience… calling all sports fans across the nation.
A blog is basically an online diary of someone's personal life that has been put up for an audience to see on the internet. Blogs are easy to create and modify which is one of the reasons they have become so popular. They also occupy a unique niche in cyberspace. Blogs are public and long-lived, they can create long relationships with other blogs as well. Blogs are being used all over the internet. If I were to create a blog it would be like most blogs, keeping an update of personal life and activities. The general audience would be an age group around mine.
ReplyDeleteI think a blog is an online diary, simple as that. Blogging has helped with school, with questions and with obsessing over teen pop stars. According to the article, blogs are found in cyberspace. If I made a blog and it wasn’t just for school, I’d make it about my favorite things. I’d probably post a lot of pictures of food I made, but these pictures would be unique because I’d make delicious, bad-for-you food. Like bacon weaved cheeseburger or a taco in an ice cream cone. The people that would read my blog would probably be guys that eat anything they want and girls fantasizing over fattening food. And I’d have elephants in my blog, lots and lots of elephants.
ReplyDeleteA blog is a web journal people use it for posting info so other people can read their information. Blogs can also share pictures and video so the readers can see or view what they are talking about. Blogs have grown in popularity because more and more people are getting internet access.

People also follow blogs to find out if there is any important news or information on events that have happened in the world. Blogs are being used everywhere since they are so easy to make and pretty easy to get to. You can access them anywhere with internet access. If I were to create a blog it would be about important information on physics and other sciences’. I would do this because if there is a major breakthrough in a field of science don’t you think everyone has a right to know. The intended audience would be the average man. Everyone would be my audience.

Also blogs are so easy to create, anyone can create one. Blogs are being used to communicate and collaborate with others. Some blogs can be focused on the community, others can be for a school club or class, and blogs can be used just to post your opinion on what happened in the game played the night before.

More kids are using them because they want to vent either without people knowing who they really are, or that they just don’t want to be straight forward to an adult. If I was to create a blog I would make it about my life and how I grew up and the different challenges I face in life, and how I overcome them, because I have gone through a lot with my life and have managed to overcome a lot of things.
