Our first assignment is to review two blogs, http://www.blogcatalog.com/ and http://www.globeofblogs.com/. These are not ordinary blogs, they are like blog dictionaries, each of the above sights is a blog society that allows bloggers to find all their blogging needs and information in one place.
To be honest, I found it difficult to find blogs that represented what I was looking for. We were asked to locate two blogs that would be purposeful in our profession and one blog site based off of personal interest (to come in my next post). I'm not sure if I wasn't searching with the right keywords, but the blogs that came up didn't meet my expectations. I may have the wrong idea of what this blog social scene is all about.
Of the two, http://www.blogcatalog.com/ or http://www.globeofblogs.com/, I preferred blogcatalog the best. When the web pages first appear my eyes are aesthetically pleased with blogcatalog. The web page flows and is easier to read. It appears that the web page uses the principles of design, unlike globeofblogs - where everything is in box's that all look the same. Globeofblogs is too uniform and difficult for me to distinguish what is what, and when I went to use the search option, it didn't work. I eventually found the weblog searches link and found the browse by topic and its breakdown affective. I think the ability to get ideas and information from other individuals in different countries is a wonderful concept as well.
However in the long run, I'm drawn by design and functionality more then the possibility of global idea exchange.
