The Business Web Innovation Lecture this week looked at blogging, and although it had been defined as a personal collaboration space for news, outlet, links and memos to the world wide web, I later discovered from Alexis that I couldn't really go with my earlier thoughts to blog about the whole course. That narrows it down - slightly!
What I learnt from the lecture was that Blogs were established some ten years ago and used as an interactive on line diary which has grown and can be used for public, personal, business or political messages. Being a new blogger I decided to investigate what other people had blogged. What I found was that you could find blogs on a range of topics which incorporate text and other media. From this you could also read the discussion based on the topic from the followers - genius! The Guardian offers a business blog. I'm slightly ignorant when it comes to what's happening in the business world as I sometimes find it difficult to understand, however starting this course has made me realise that I may need to change my ways. Such a blog will be a huge benefit to me as reading the blog and the views of its readers allows me to get a deeper interpretation of what it means from different perspectives. My favourite artist Adele even has a blog and over 17 million people follow her (with a little help from Facebook).
Having explored the 'Blogosphere' the tasks in the Lab were easy to navigate and I enjoyed exploring a variety of different blogs. I realised that although I wouldn't be blogging about the other modules on my course I could certainly use specific blogs to assist with research required in other modules. The only difficulty I may have is finding something interesting to blog about!
