Meet Joe Blog

This story starts off by telling what each blog editor did, where the lived, and how old they were. I think they did this to show the differences in their backgrounds, professions, and ages. They wanted to show that no matter the differences, they could be successful.
The story then goes on to give some background on blogs. It tells what blogs are, when they came about, and what they were mainly used by the people for. The story tells us that blogs can be about anything. This opens the door for anyone and everyone to be able to sit down and write their thoughts.
As we read on, we learn that it was in 1999 when websites began to offer free software for users to create their own blogs with no cost. This was the kick-start to the blog-boom. By 2002 one website had over 900,000 users creating blogs.
Then we are told that as time went on and conflicts happened, people were posting their opinions online in the form of blogs. These blogs were getting read by big news covering companies. This showed that blogs were effective. Blogs were being used to get thoughts, opinions, and ideas out to the world.
We are shown that the reason blogs are so effective is because they are free. Who knew that this little free software would have such a big impact on the world? Blogs have helped people getting their writings published. They have helped people get their voices heard. The military uses blogs to get their stories told. They give hardcore descriptions of their tours on duty. Blogs have been about things from politics to just how people are feeling about their day.
We learn that blogs have a big impact on the world. Yes there are some downsides to them, but over all they are a great way to get voices heard. Even politicians are using blogs to show people how they feel. Sure the blog will not get them into office, but it helps to show that these politicians are real people to.
The blog world is not going anywhere. In my opinion, after reading this story, the world of blogging has found its permanent spot.
