Blogging 101

Something I hope our class blog will never be!

This link is to a list of the "Top 11 Lamest Blogs"  on the internet today.  I looked at the list, and I think it was an accurate assessment.  But it got me thinking about the very fine line of blogging between interesting and just pathetic.  And yet, I LOVE reading blogs.  My obsession began ages ago right when livejournal was getting popular.  I somehow was enthralled by reading every detail of my friends' lives.  (This was the true start to social media, I'd say.) Next it was reading blogs of friends who are abroad- the ideal way to stay connected and hear about all their great adventures.  And now I am obsessed with Marquette basketball blogs, without them I would never stay up to date on statistics and team happenings.  

However, this list of lame blogs is a great reminder for our future in the business world.  Blogging can be a great way to get the word out about a company, but it needs to be done tastefully and be associated with articles people really are interested in reading.  So check out the list, and keep their mistakes in mind and be rest assured that I am confidant our class blog would not be on this list.

Not sure what it is..but i dont think i have come to appreciate blogs for what you say they are..I mean i'm truly happy for you and your excitement about them , but as for me(and call me old fashion)I like to stick to the good ol news watching on tv or chatting with friends via facebook..(if that's at all old fashion)..
