Progressing in Online Media...
We continue to progress in our online media technology course, moving on to video now. I'm hoping at some point that we discuss how to navigate the world of blogging; i.e. how to evaluate the credibility of a blog or how to gauge readership/audience/popularity. I'll also post this question on the class blog to get some feedback from the professor. My video is soon to post!

The 3-Dimensional 2-Dimensional
Can 2-D be 3-D?
Blogging is fun, easy, instant, accessible, fast, and many other simple adjectives (not all good, either, particularly depending on who you ask). But it's much more complicated than these simple adjectives - it's changed the way companies market and advertise, the definitions of entertainment and journalism, geographic borders. And perhaps, most importantly, it's changed the way people communicate, socialize and interact with one another.
Blogging is meant to be interactive - 3D rather than 2D. Although when looking at a computer you see a flat object, the fun part of blogging (and the difference between a blog and a website) is that it is a two-way interaction, creating a three-dimensional feel. Can you have a conversation with your computer? Still up for debate, but blogging has taken this concept one step closer.
