Playing Well With Others

Side note: I think this tittle will get me a lot more hits! lol

It's refreshing to see so many varying styles of blogs in the class. Looking at each one is different so it's not boring going through and reading classmate's blogs. That being said, it was quite interesting that on pretty much all of the blogs that i commented on, my comments were the only ones.

An issue that I came into while trying to comment on blogs was losing my posts. I'd either forget my blogger password and by the time i went through the system my comment would be gone. Not to mention some blogs just didn't show my post. To avoid this i started typing my comments in word and then just pasting them onto the blog. I'd say i successfully posted to about 4. Of the blogs I posted on, I only have minor acquaintances with 2 of them, I wouldn't say that we know each other very well, and i didn't chose their blogs because i know them, but because they seemed interesting.

I thinks that this is pretty useful when we need to share large amounts of information with each other given that clark tends to send out so much email that it all gets lost in the shuffle. The only disadvantage i see to it is that it's not meant for instance response so I wouldn't pose a question that I needed answered right away, but If wanted to start a conversation, this is an excellent venue for that.
