Blogs In Plain English
Okay, this is not really my own title. This was actually the title of a video by Lee Fever that I saw today about blogs that was only three minutes. For the most part, even though I have been doing this blog for a couple weeks, I did enjoy this video. The way that the author was able to break down each area of blog information and condense it into three minutes was quite impressive.
In short, the video explained why blogs came about in the first place and why they are good to visit and have. Basically, all kinds of information are a kind of news, and it matters differently to different people. Web-logs allow specific “news” to reach “large groups of small audiences”. In other words, people listen to the informtion they like to hear. Then, it goes on to say not only how you can start a blog (with an idea) and how blogs work. The video talks about the posts, comments, and ease of publishing that a blog incorporates into a personal site. The last thing it brings up is blogging communities where people of similar interests interact on each others’ sites.
I think that the author did a great job in taking all the important information about blogging and being able to condense it down for a listener, all with interesting graphics. I believe that the video was adequate for people who have some background information, but not really good for people who are brand new to the idea of Internet web-logging.

I unfortunately do not believe that it is the best solution to learning about blogs because it goes just a little too quickly. In fact, it probably would have been faster for you to just watch the video instead of reading through all of this, but this synopsis kind of prepares you so you know what to listen for.
