Adrianna -vs- Nardi et al (2004)

As I listened to compared the two I found that they had some similarities about the reasons why people blog. Not suprisingly, they mentioned that it was because some felt it to be immediate, intimate, and in most cases it was about ones own passion. Nardi suggested that is was a form of release , or venting without having to suffer any real consequences about what you said. For the mosat part it is informal, although your friends, family and collegues can view you latest post at any time. Nardi et al view was that blogging is only another form of writting and expressing your ideas through this particular forum. Normally people blog what they think or what is important to them. It is also important that you keep some type of ethic or codes of conduct in this type of social community due to the fact that the audience is verstile and consist of many different backgrounds and age groups. It is also evident that you will be able to reach a broad audience. According to Nardi it is important that you keep you thoughts and opinions honest and without as much controversy as possible, but also try to be as honest and sincere about your opinions as many will comment and come back to a blog that interest them as well. Adrianna also suggest that people should blog their first ideas when they first get up. I think her idea suggest that other somehow later on in a particular setting your blog could possibly be of interest to people who share the same interest.
