Question

Why do you read blogs? What strikes your interest and are you interested in the authors' biased opinion?

Answer 1

I read a fair number of blogs and, if they are not of a technical nature (computer types lose me quickly) am generally interested in the content. My curiosity about what people think, how they view their world, what activates, encourages, and causes fury in them is a character flaw of mine. I expect that most blogs are generated for the purpose of advancing a specific point of view, much like an editorial. But, I enjoy learning about other folks perception of things and comparing it to my own. Bias is to be expected, few write neutral blogs solely for the reason of information.

Sorry to go on so, but I thought your inquiry interesting. Thanks for the chance to respond.

Answer 2

I don't ready blogs it seems like a waste of time to me. I don't care about someone's opinion that much as to read his or her blog...and I certainly don't feel like posting my soul on my space or any other kind of site like that or blog...It's like everyone knows you and there's nothing left for "you". I also feel it's like more of a look at me, look at me statement and see how many friends I have. Another way to be "in with the crowd". I mean I do care what other people think but not reading a blog every day! I think it's a good way to vent for some people and there are different kinds of blogs like imformative blogs and then just gossip blogs. I would be interested in reading a blog that's about personal challenge. Like somone trying to loose weight and talking about his or her daily struggles and success.
