The social outlets our society has created allows for people to find one another no problem. With the help of facebook, twitter, blogs and more we’re capable of knowing what a friend, family member or even acquaintance is up to almost every moment of the day. Social outlets are really helpful because they save time and allow people, like journalists, to investigate a situation ten times faster than they were previously able to do.
Blogs are one of the more subtle outlets to be introduced. While many people have them, it’s not referred to nearly as much as the latest wall post, or twitpic. Blogs are interesting because they allow an individual to express anything from cooking recipes, to a political stance, to traveling abroad, and much more. Blogs allow people to discuss in depth their personal views. In order to have a good blog the first entry must be something to grab the reader’s attention. Thus a creative title or a picture even would be a good way to do so. Also the blog itself has to really reflect the view of the individual not just summarize a certain instance. For example if someone’s blogging about a book, whoever is reading it is probably looking for an opinion on it versus the key points of the plot. This brings to light another reason why blogs are helpful. They help link people together. Going off the same example, if someone read an opinionated blog of a book and agreed with it they could reply to the blog and sooner or later the two bloggers could be having weekly discussions about books they enjoy. Obviously this situation doesn’t happen for everyone but nonetheless, people might stumble upon a blog and become very interested. This is the main difference between facebook and twitter, and blogging. Blogs are much more personal.
