- What should you consider before you create or post on a blog?
- What are some blogs that you follow?

Web 2.0: Using Google & Technorati Blog Search 10/11/2011

Perform a Google and/or Technorati Blog Search and research at least 2 blogs that interest you. Add those blogs to your Google dashboard as a blog that you follow.

After you have done that, read an article from 1 of the blogs and post a constructive comment on it. The comment will be your opinion on that particular post, not 1 word, not a sentence, at least a paragraph. You will then comment on this post with the URL of the the article that includes your comment so I can review.

This is due during this class period.

Note: Some blogs will make you register as a user to prevent spam. Don't give out too much personal information. If you're not sure, choose another blog to post on.
