The first activity for this topic was to discuss the following questions on the discussion board.
- The early days of blogging were extremely optimistic about the potential of blogs to give everyone who wanted one a voice and a venue to publish. Now that blogging is over a decade old, to what extent have these early predictions come true?
- Rettberg talks about blogs facilitating ‘distributed conversations’ and even ‘distributed communities’; what do you understand these terms to mean?
The second activity was to select a method of receiving RSS feeds, either via a desktop RSS reader or an online news aggregator. I have chosen both, with the desktop reader (NetNewsWire) synching with my online aggregator (Google Reader). Over the course of the week we were to choose six or more blogs that we were interested in reading and to subscribe to them. I have subscribed to the following blogs:
- Apartment Therapy
- The Life of Luxury
- Mashable
- Apophenia
- Perez Hilton
- Rebecca's Pocket
