Other Blogs

I visited 3 blogs:  Barack Obama, Honolulu Advertiser, and American Idol.  It was interesting to see that the types of comments on these 3 blogs were all very different in content.  Of course on the Obama blog, there were many political issues being raised and the comments were mostly in support of Barack Obama.  The Honolulu Advertiser gives the readers many opportunities to leave comments on different editors'/writers' blogs, depending on the topic (from sports to real estate to current news issues).  On the American Idol blog, the comments left were highly opinionated and much more passionate about the show and the contestants.  It was very entertaining to read!  I think for the most part, people write comments on blogs to be heard and to make their opinion public.  I also think it's a way for people to express their views in a quick and easy manner.
