Prior to this assignment, I was not into blogging and all that it entailed. I believed that traditional web pages were the way to get information on the Internet. I considered them to contain “accurate” information while blogs are based on opinions. However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn otherwise.
One unique feature of a blog is that it allows people to communicate and share thoughts and ideas. Blogs are not always opinions, many blogs also include research based facts and information such as a blog about cooking or a blog on autism. The unique feature of being about to comment and carry on a conversation is what really set blogs apart. Also, blogs give off a more personal feel to them, which I believe helps the flow of communication.
Similar to a blog, traditional webpages contain information, factual or not, they contain some sort of information. Traditional webpages do not usually lend themselves to communicating with their readers. However, as I traveled from msnbc.com to espn.com to dsw.com, I realized that I am able share my comments, thoughts and ideas. But it was not always like this. It seems more traditional webpages have been conforming and opening up their site to communication. However, there are still some webpages, such as msu.edu, that have the traditional feel of strictly information without others thoughts and opinions.
