Hw 2 : Blogging is going global
Americans today tend to believe that "Blogging is going global." According to Burnstein's 12 key ideas about blogging, he also believes that it is going global and changing our culture and politics not only in America, but worldwide. I find this topic very interesting because i was unaware that blogging was so popular here or that it has become influential in countries all over the globe. For blogging to become so popular in places like Iraq and Iran, it really shows that we have urges and needs to express our thoughts. Another intrest that came to mind in while i was reading"Blogging is going global," was how it can impact a culture to the point where people can change their opinion. The school teacher from Marseille who opposed the European Constitution in France in May of 2005. It amazes me how her blog and other contributions to her blog made the pubic realize what needed to be stopped. This section on "Blogging is going global" is a very interesting and important factor in blogging because it really shows how not only the nation, but the globe is making a contribution towards it.

Hannah, the global nature of blogs will indeed be an important theme in our class and in the blogosphere.
I don't see the connect between your own interests and the text here. Also, remember to mention the name of the text you're discussing so that readers will know what you're talking about (even if they haven't read the assignment), and to credit ideas and sayings to the correct source:
In the introduction to Blog! How the Newest Media Revolution is Changing Politics, Business, and Culture, Dan Burstein says that "Blogging going global," and I think that most Americans believe that's true too.
