HW 13: Blogs will change your business

During my time reading "So What?Who Cares?: Saying Why it Matters" (Graff 88-97)and "Blogs will change your business" (Kline and Burstein 221-233), I observed very many interesting facts. While reading "So What?Who Cares?" my opinion came to knowledge that the impact that the impact of blogging on communication is phenomenal. In order for a person to read one's articles, or journalism they need to make the readers become interested and engaged with it. It is always important to answer the questions so what and who cares. By giving people this knowledge. it shows them that the writer is familiar with what they are talking about and it shows them that the are caring about it. There were many examples in the book that expressed different ways of going about documenting answering these questions. A format that was revealed on page 91 of They Say, I Say is "This interpretation challenges the work of those critics who have long assumed that .", this is a way to formally fulfill someone with the knowledge of who cares about this particular subject. In the chapter "Blogs Will Change Your Business", there are many comparisons of why blogging has an affect on communication. Stephen Baker and Heather Green mentioned about blogs on page 222 " You cannot afford to close your eyes from them, because they're simply the most explosive outbreak in the information world since the Internet itself." This is stating that although some people may disagree with blogging, it doesn't matter they are not going to go away (well not anytime soon anyway). They have also exclaimed that they are going to affect each and everything, no matter what it is, so beware.

Renee, I can see that you're paying attention to the reading and the assignment, but this post is really hard to understand. Work on focus. Leave out filler statements. State your position, then back it up.
