I can understand why people would enjoy writing blogs...it may be cathartic %26amp; a hassle free way of getting published. I can also see the point of expert blogs......but reading those 'daily dairy' type of blogs ??? Who is really interested?
What blogs do you read ?
Why do people enjoy reading blogs? Especially the personal, opinionated ones.?
I agree with you. some of those too opinionated and also foolish and without content. The only speciality is - newness of the concept. i stopped reading blogs sometime ago. there are other and more efficacious ways of informing oneself and enjoying content available. Besides all blogs are one way traffic.
Reply:I read my friends blogs... and I also visit blogs about stuff that I like to read about. I like to search fro Japanese blogs, cause they're always very creative and inspire me. Report It
Reply:To tell you the truth I really don't know the answer to your question, but then again I never did understand the fascination people have with soap operas, reading other people's private diaries or even some rather self promoting boring biographies. Maybe it's just that they are trying to equate their own life's experiences with that of others.
Reply:It takes your mind off of your own problems,and lets you know that other people are dealing with the same bs as us.
Reply:People has always the tendency to know about what plays in other minds. Reading other's diaries are that's why so popular. Today, people are spending more time on the computer and reading books and periodicals tend to take a backseat. Blog is a way to share one's views with others. Celebrity blogs and blogs dedicated to a specific target audience are more popular than others. People search out blogs that interest them. Being a content writer, I sometimes search out for blogs (any) and read them in order to brush up my style of writing. You may have your own reason.
Reply:probably the same reason people watch soaps and gossip. They are interested in how other people do what they do. I like information not gossip.
Reply:Sometimes an answer or a question intrigues you. If the person has a 360 page and a blog you can learn a little more about them. I think it's just interesting to see how people from different lifestyles think. You can visit my blog any time.
Reply:same reason.
different views.
Reply:the only blogs i read, are the ones posted by friends or people i know. you just learn a little something about that person or know how they are feeling. its interesting at times to know that someone else might be feeling like you do just when u think you are the only one....
Reply:It is called being nosey.

What blogs do you read to keep up with current events and politics?
I'm trying to make an effort to stay better informed. I've always liked reading blogs, so I figured it would be a better way than reading the new york times every morning. I'm interested in blogs which deliver an almost non-partisan review of the news. and some which provide commentary on either side, but aren't completely radical. i mean by that michelle malkin and the like. i use a conservative because that's all i can think of right now, but the same applies to liberals.
I already know about google news and etc. Please don't link me to newspaper or magazine sites ;(.

Since Blogs are based on personal opinions they cannot be counted on as a source of correct news.

It's not news, it's FARK
Reply:Fark is good...
I suggest the BBC. It's a real new site, but's it's really good. and not always boring. Who doesn't love British humor?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/
Reply:blogs, however good and entertaining, are personal opinions, I still rely on CNN and the newspaper
Reply:None.
Most are still not a real source of news.
Reply:Blogs are for idiots. People who watch FOX news also read blogs.

The blog roll on each of those places is also worth checking out.
Reply:I like to follow the evolution vs intelligent design issue. So I watch http://www.talkorigins.org
My personal favorite is http://www.wolverinesden.org/
Reply:No blog is going to be as up-to-date as a news website. A collection of various news websites would be even better. Also, not many (if any) blogs are going to be non-partisan, which journalists, as a rule, should be.

Do you read blogs?
Do you read blogs regularly? There is a lot of buzz about blogs everywhere. I was wondering how many people actually read them. What percentage of the population has a habit of checking out blogs like they check out their e-mails regularly?
Do you read blogs?
Sometimes I'll read diaries over at http://diaryland.com
I don't read them on a regular basis though.
Reply:I do! I love them. There are great blogs and horrible blogs out there, so it's hard to find the good stuff but when you do it's incredibly addictive.
Reply:I don't read blogs. I write them... =p
Occasionally, I do read other blogs too and when I find a really good one - I tend to check through it's archives and read the past entries. It can be that good!

I have one, but only the spiderbots read it LOL Writing about your life for all to read seems a little strange.
Personal Blogs - Yes or No?
Yes, I write to my blog daily and have watched it grow over the years. If you can maintain it and it keep interesting, why not.

Shared Blogs, does anyone know if this exists?
Hi There, I am currently looking at setting up a blog for my company to enable better communication. Although it seems with a blog only one person can enter blogs. And the rest just comment on them. I want to have it so 20 people can enter blogs in the one blog area. I am just trying to stream line communication as we are in the consulting business i would love a web based site we could all add stuff on from anywhere in the world. Does anyone know if anything like this exists? I would also prefer this not to be viewable by the public if possible. Also needs to be free or minimal cost.
Shared Blogs, does anyone know if this exists?
You can use http://www.livejournal.com and allow as many people to post as you want to. I'm a member of a community on there which does this very thing. If you want to see what I mean, check it out: http://community.livejournal.com/rachael...
(You can make it private to everyone other than those posting AND it's free.)

Highlighted Blogs?
I have learnt how to do a Blogroll which sits on the left of my blogs.
But I have notice some Bloggers have a Hightighted Blogs list, to the right of their bolgs.
How do I do this?
The next question will be about RSS feeds - I haven't the foggiest what they are going on about and why do you need them? Weird.
If you want to help with this question aswel, please do.
TO ANYONE OFFERING HELP - please make it simple!!!
.
Highlighted Blogs?
Highlighted blogs:
When you go to edit or compose a blog entry, click the "Show Options" link (it's under the white text area/left side of the page) %26gt; then, check the box near "Highlight this blog entry."
-To remove an entry from the highlighted list, you just go back to that blog entry and uncheck the box.
Feeds:
You don't really need them. You can leave that box empty and it won't show up on your page when someone views your page.
It's a way to have the newest content from certain websites [such as news websites, blogs, etc] show up on your page. If you're interested in reading the article, you or the people viewing your page can go to the website to view the full content.
Some example of websites with feeds/RSS:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3223484....
http://news.yahoo.com/rss
http://www.cnn.com/services/rss/
So, if you wanted to place a feed on your Y! 360 page, you'd just paste the URL of the feed into one of the Feed boxes.
I.E. http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rs...
You can look at your favorite websites, etc, to see if they provide feed/RSS links/content.
Reply:Hey. Thanks..
Sure I will. Report It
Reply:do not know sorry
Reply:Perhaps you can tell me how to da a blogroll
as for the rss feeds, thet are in simple terms a feed to a website, only some websites have the rss symbol.
Use google and search rss feeds
RSS is a simple based system that allows users to subscribe to their favorite websites. Using RSS, webmasters can put their content into a standardized format, which can be viewed and organized through RSS-aware software or automatically conveyed as new content on another website.
Reply:Don't know babe, thought it was automatic.
