In your learning log, record your thoughts. Consider various uses for blogs such as citizen journalism and personal blogging. Have you seen in your net travels any interesting uses for blogs? This blog entry is an opportunity to tell us what you really think of blogging!
It is true that blogs are used as an online diary and when thinking of diaries I would think of something very personal, secretive and non-interactive however blogs can be very interactive with the use of RSS feeds, URL links and the ability to add comments to a post. It gives individuals and businesses the ability to share their thoughts to a wide audience, not really bound by rules as it is a medium for free speech. An interesting site I found on my net travels is Bloglines a site that people can follow and signup to. Once you sign up you are prompted to tick what you are interested in and what you will be happy receiving. You will then receive blogs and updates of those blogs from your chosen topics. You are exposed to a large range and variety of blogs from cooking recipes, fashion updates, celebrity news to paintings and artworks.
