Blogging

So just catching up on all my blogs now which i havent done in awhile with holidays playing a big part haha.

Blogs have become a huge part in todays society. Not only do we do this as part of assignments, people do it to interact, develop relationships, even celebrities have used this as a way to express their own opinion and set alot of rumours straight!!

Ive never been the person that has usually posted comments over the internet until i was introduced to Bebo which really took to me a new level with the internet and i started to understand and become more interested in blogs.

One inparticular - which im a little ashamed to say i have become slightly addicted to is perezhilton.com ( a guy who posts blogs on the latest gossip around celebrities) He has really become a celebrity in his own right- he has fans all around the world logging on to see what he has blogged - around 1 milllion views a day!!!

Advantages of a blog like this is that it is cheap, fast:scoop the larger institutional media.

When people can blog about a type of movie, music, or sport they may be interested in and target small niche audiences, Perez has got a topic that millions of people around the world are interested in - celeb gossip!!!

Perez Hilton, blogging sites, utube are becoming part of everyday lives. I recently say the movie "Across the Universe" ( a movie must see) I enjoyed it so much, i knew that i could go on utube and see a scene that I liked. Before the movie i went onto metacritic - a site where movies are rated by top papers and critics.

So ive realised that pretty much anything im interested in will have already been blogged/discussed and videoed on the internet haha so now all i have to do is type what it is in google and there we go.....................
