Why We Blog, How We Blog

I would say the easiest mode of communication would be through the internet or just electronically. Electronics are the basic modes of communication now-a-days anyway. The time it takes to send an email is drastically different than the time it takes to mail a letter. The web is instant and that's why i prefer it over anything else. Karl Kapp and Lisa Neal are the authors of the Blogging to Learn and Learning to Blog. They are trying to help people better understand what blogging is and how to use it. They are very helpful in what they say because they not only go through what each part of the blog is meant for and how to use it, but they also explain blogging as a whole and why we have it. I find their site very helpful and useful at the same time. I'm sure I will refer back to it plenty.

I agree with you when you say the easiest mode of communication is the internet. Today, electronics have taken over and as time goes on blogging will possibly increase in the number of people who use it to communicate. I also found the websites very helpful and will refer back to it periodically. You explained the basics of the websites, but based on the information what does a blog mean to you personally? How do you feel about hate crimes, and the other aspects involed in a blog?

I too agree that the electronics are becoming the most popular form or communication, especially the internet. It is so fast and easy to write an e-mail. My sister lives in Florida and I do not get to call her very often so we keep in touch through the internet. However, I think the best form of communication is the old fashioned in person approach. Even though the Internet is fast and easy, we cannot give up talking to someone in person.

Tiffany,
Blogging and other electronic communications via the Internet are powerful tools for communication and they allow anyone to have a voice on a variety of topics.

Blogs are like other forms of communication that can be used postively or negatively. The greatest thing about a blog, however, is the community that can grow up around the blogosphere. Good luck in your own blogging.

I agree that the internet and electronic communication is the easiest now-a-days. I honestly only use electronic types of communication and is a lot easier and faster. And if blogging is used properly it could also be a good way of communication online. But even with blogging there i would probably resort to email just because it is faster and easier. I'm just not to in to the whole blogging thing. Ha.
