Thing #4

Blogs allow people to publicly display their thoughts. It's a forum that lets you interact with an unlimited number of opinions. You have the opportunity to communicate with people that could be half way around the world, and yet have views that are the same as yours. It gives us a chance to see how small the world is at times.

I thought it was interesting that is was recommended to not try to comment on everything note that is left on your blog. I would feel somewhat obligated, yet it was suggested that it's not necessary. I also thought it was interesting that it was proposed that you should purposefully leave your blogs open ended and not cover every topic so that there is room for others to comment.

Sam's Blog
I chose to comment on Sam's blog because I related to something he said. He plays video games (as do I) and he preferred making a mii more than the avatar's for the blog. I agreed.

Debbie's Blog
I commented on Debbie's blog because I liked the way she tried to relate her avatar to herself. I enjoyed that she put a tux on her female avatar. :)

Carita's Blog
I commented on Carita's blog because I liked the look of her avatar. She chose to put it in a wedding dress based on her recent experience, and i like that she shared that with all of us.

Amanda's Blog
I commented on Amanda's blog because I enjoyed reading about how she likes to smile. I think her attitude will definitely rub off on her students and help create a great atmosphere for her to teach in.

Chad's Blog
I commented on Chad's blog because I could relate to his tendency to begin with the end in mind. I think that this is usually the best course of action.

Thayne and Erika's Blog
These are extremely close friends of mine that are currently living in Japan. I commented because I was curious what they did when faced with less than desirable foreign food.

Some Guy
I posted anonymously on this guy's blog because I have no desire to start up a random relationship with someone I don't know just because this course requires it. I congratulated Canada for their win in hockey because I really got into these Olympics and thought it was very fitting for Canada to win, despite preferring the gold to have come home to the U.S.
