Assignment #1: Blogging is communication

My dedication to visiting blogs began several years ago. I learn of blogs through following the trails of assorted referrals, links, and searches. According to the blog search engine Technorati at http://technorati.com/ , there were 71 million blogs as of May 2007 (that would be 71 million and 1 as of June 4 when I started mine).

I am, in my face-to-face life, an avid networker, who keeps in touch with people, who connects people, and who can always find a resource for a question or a problem. Blogging, I’ve decided, is the ultimate in networking. As I wander through the blogosphere I began noticing what made me return to a blog. I would revisit blogs if I liked the writing style, sense of humor, graphics, links, and/or content. It was a very personal mix.

I regularly visit blogs of agents, writers, publishers, public relations professionals, artists—this is just as important to me as a writer as reading the Wall Street Journal is to an investment broker.

Register first, (see instructions at the right side of this blog) and then enter a comment in response to this question: What type of communication (intrapersonal, dyadic, etc--see others on pages 6 6o 9 of the textbook) is blogging? Explain why you chose that type.
