Blogs: Part Two

I found many different kinds of blogs as I was searching. They ranged from blogs about the daily lives of ordinary people, to the latest technology, to why you fall in love to a whole blog dedicated on how to stay off Facebook. It was very interesting to blog surf, seeing as blogs are not something that I consider a part of my every day life. I have never just sat there and read the lives of people or their thoughts on certain situations. After viewing a lot of blogs I found that Michael Shanks was the most in-depth and the blog with the most substantial material. However, the blogs about technology were very detailed, they just dealt with mechanics and their opinions on the product, I felt as if they were unable to really "connect" with the topic they were writing about. Now when I read the blogs about peoples daily lives, I had a very high sense of connected with this people, I started to feel sorry for them if something did not go there way or happy if something happened that they were hoping for. Just like the technology blogs this blog lacked something, and that was the "academic inquiry" that Shanks blogs had. As I said in the Shanks blog, these blogs do have the potential to be academic inquiry, they just need to find a balance between that and blogging.
