Hourihan Blog

To me a blog is a personal point of view by a writer or a group of writers.  In blogs I feel like the authors do not have to be politically correct in the content that they post.  Versus in a newspaper they must be politically correct and show different points of view.

Hourihan feels that blogs are a communication revolution because more and more people are writing on online sources rather than using paper and pencil.  With websites like bloodspot, and twitter peoples personal feelings can be viewed world wide for anybody with internet access to see.

I feel like keeping a blog in this class with be very advantageous for learning.  I think it will be beneficial because it allows students to write in their own "style" of writing.

To me when you publish something it is viewed by an editor and has multiple rough drafts, as opposed to a blog you can just straight state your opinion of something and submit it for the world to see instantly.
