The QUESTinos

A. What is the difference between a blog and a book?
The difference between them, is that a blog is faster, opend to comments and discussion, and they are very efficient and economical. Meanwhile, books are heavy, slow, and only the author has a chance to illuminate us.
B. How have blogs changes recently?
Since blogs started they have became very popular. Now there are well known journals and companies with blogs, so everyone with acess to a computer can interact with them. Also, the language used in blogs is much more relaxed. People use OMG (Oh my god), smilies, and other common and casual language.
C. Why might you read a blog?
You might read a blog for several reasons. You might stop just for curiosity in a subject, or for a research in a specific topic. Usually other sources are not clear enough, don't have media, or repeat the same over and over again, while blogs are concise and easy to understand. Besides, with blogs you can write comments, relate them to your own life and discuss about the topic in the same place.
D. Is there reason to doubt the objectivity of a blog? Why? Why not?
Yes. I would always check on the given information, because there is a big probability that it is fake or a gossip. This happens because the authors have the right to write whatever they want, and there is nothing that verifies the written info before being posted.
E. If you kept your own blog, what would you title it?
I don't know. I think it depends a lot on what I am going to write about. For example, if it is a blog about animals I would name it "Wild girl".
