Reflection post

Well Here we are once again on my Gossip girl blog. By now you should of realize that i tend to leave all my responsibilities last minute, that being said shall we begin? In this episode we will take on “imagining the blogosphere “ by Graham Lampa from my point of view. As i read this piece it wasn’t my favorite i could tell right off the bat. But if there is a positive outlook on this article id  have to say, some parts of this piece did stick into my memory. Even though i believe it’s was useless facts or information that really attracted me. This article was a bit confusing to me at first but overall i had to understand what i was reading to do my assignments.

The beginning was the most interesting part to me because it talked about bloggers and the survey done by Perseus Development Company. I could connect with people on how they keep their blogs for 4 months average then not using it anymore. I was like maybe the other 1.4 million people from the survey are done with their English classes too. I know that after this semester ends i won’t ever need to go back to the blog. As i write this i thought maybe it be cool to look back at in the future when im 40 or something maybe be different than the other 1.4 million surveyed also my classmates. When it comes to blogs i believe that majority of users are artists and people that are complete bored. After breaking down Graham lampa piece i would gladly admit that i didn’t know certain things. He mentions that “ Although many blogging services may be free, the substantial amount of capital and operating costs needed to simply access the Internet are insurmountable obstacles to many in the developing world” (Lampa 5).

Going back to my thought about artist also people being bored are the only people that use blogs. Reading this made me revise my thought, maybe there would be more bloggers if third country don’t demand people to pay for internet use. Mainstream media has took a twist in important news being updated to the public. That being able authors to share ideas of their thoughts and personal views to their imagining community is interesting.  When the authors mentioned 9-11 blogs at the time were “ widely-publicized “ (2).

Overall reading this article for this week i have to say i learned somewhat valuable information but mostly about bloggers and the community that one’s attract. When i went to the next page to keep reading all i thought was i can’t wait for when i’m done with this blog stuff. I was getting annoyed having to type five-hundred words a post for my own grade. This week assignment wasn’t as bad, but it was because i could make connections with the post once i broke it down. This post made me question about the surveys held and the answers they found. All i know is that i’m going to leave this blog alone after this class and go back to take a look in the future to see young me.
