I had a blog this year that was one sided. I posted on it the class assignments and the homework. I have never had anyone respond to it, and that was my only blogging experience. I can see blogging enjoyable if people keep it short and to the point. I see the ooportunity to share opinions and reflections like in article 1 http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?p=133 . You can also reach people with similar interests like in article 3 http://twentyfivedays.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/it-doesnt-matter-if-youre-6-or-26-or-106/.

Blogs come in different genres, though and some are more appealing than others. The difference between the blog and other types of readings is that you can get responses from various participants in a quick manner. Blogging helps you build an open minded approach by being exposed to many points of view. It facilitates learning by opening a window to fast, real people’s information.
