Ayyye Mike And Mike Is A Blog?!?!

I have never written a blog before. When I first heard we are writing a blog throughout the semester I initially thought we would just write about personal experiences. Little did I know, blogs have a wide variety of uses to the general public. Sometimes blogs are used to convey personal stories, but more often than not they focus on a central topic and elaborate from there. Blogs can cover topics ranging from popular sports news, to heated political arguments. I personally think the best part of a blog is the section dedicated for users who view the blog to give their own personal opinion after reading the blog. Sometimes the opinions are fiery and other times more subtle depending on the topic.

            One of my favorite shows is ESPN’s Mike And Mike in the morning. It is a radiobroadcast that you can watch where Mike And Mike delve into issues on sports for the week. Little did I know Mike and Mike have a blog where they upload their broadcasts for viewers to comment on the topic at hand. Most of the time comments are heated because people are such avid sports fans. I find it very interesting a blog doesn’t necessarily have to be typed.

            Besides sports, I found a lot of blogs based around technology. The NY Times has a blog section dedicated to technology. The blogs are directed more towards the unveiling of new items that will hit the market. Comments related to these articles are based more on speculation of how well the item will sell; other people simply leave questions that weren’t answered in the blog related to the item.

            The last couple blogs I looked at had to do with politics. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to politics. After reading some blogs related to politics, I feel they are much more biased than either the technology or sports blogs. I suppose that makes sense though because people writing political blogs write from the point of view of the party they are associated with.
