Blog #2 - Hourihan's article

1.       Blogs allow readers to comment on its material, as well as email the author of the blog. This creates a feeling of connection between the blogger and its readers that you would not get from a print source.

2.       Hourihan feels like blogs are a communication revolution because of how popular they have become. They have gone from personal journals, to widely visited news and media communication methods.

3.       I feel that keeping a blog for this class is a creative way to express yourself, instead of turning in a bunch of papers. It is also an advantage to be able to comment on your peer’s work as well. Some disadvantages to blogging would be how unpredictable technology is, and also the fact that everything you put online is public, and everyone can see it, which could be a problem if you put up something very personal.

4.       “Publishing” and blogging are great ways to express your thoughts, feelings, ideas, and experiences in a way that many people can read and understand. It also creates, like I said, a connection between people who share the same interests.
