After many years of following and responding to a variety of blogs on the internet, it's become clear to me that if readers do not verbally react to what they are reading, the blogs themselves are meeting their full potential. In short, their effectiveness can be gauged by what others have to say about them.
Communication between the blog writer and his or her audience in extremely important in a variety of ways. It gives the reader an opportunity to offer opinionated perspective that can enlighten to the blogger, while giving the blogger functional access to create a dialogue with those that may or may agree with the subject matter at hand. Public feedback isn't always used with all blogs, but when it is, it enhances and creates an effective level of discourse that educates and entertains at the same time.
I chose to follow the blogs of five fellow classmates:
They all varied in style, opinion and thought. And each had its own foundation and dynamic, which made them fascinating to keep up with and respond to. At risk of repeating myself, we as bloggers for this entire assignment took a great deal of time following and fulfilling the requirements. It was important to hear from others regarding how we were doing and what mattered to them. The comments made by my classmates certainly made my blogging experience and blog itself, a better one.
The two non-educational blogs I frequent and comment on are the Daily Kos and The Daily Beast.
