Week 1's lecture was centred around the hype of this amazing interactive source.
Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entires of commentary , descriptions of events or other materials. By allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blog, the level of interactivity distinguishes them from other static websites.
Types of Blog
From my research i have discovered many types of blog, differing not only in type of content, but also in the way that content is delievered.
First up .....
Here we have the Personal Blogs...
This is the most traditional and most common form of blog, usually presented in commentary or diary format. Personal Bloggers take pride in their blog posts and are ofern used not only as a communication tool but a way to reflect on life. One type of Personal Blog, reffered to as a microblog, is extremely detailed and seeks to capture a moment in time. Some sites, such as Twitter allow bloggers to share thoughts and feelings instantaneously with friends and family and are much faster than emailing or writing.
Secondly we have Corporate and Organisational Blogs
With tens of millions of blogs online today, major corporations have started to recognise the value of a corporate blog for communicating with customers. I have notced that corporate blogging are totally different to traditional forms of blogging that most of us encouter on a day to day basis. Corporate blogging brings its own unique set of challenges and opportunities that must be considered and addressed by the company in order for its users to have a positive experience.
One of my favourites is the Malibu Rum Blog.

SKEET SKEET PLAYING ON THE RADIO.
Having just embarked on a thoroughly massive tour as the opening act for Katy Perry, DJ Skeet Skeet found some time between stage time to send us a mix of pan-Caribbean goodness.
