Blogs growth in popularity largely stems from the fact that it is an easy medium to use to establish an opinion on any given subject. Through the use of the internet, blogs give people the freedom to express their view point to any given audience. They can write about a current issue affecting the world or inform their readers of a past problem. Blogs allow a sense of creativity that few other outlets do and make up one of main components of the internet - opinions.
Opinions are part of what drive the internet. Sure there is factual information, gossip, and rumors but opinions allow not only the writer but also the reader to establish a position on a particular topic. My blog for example covered the Los Angeles rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I believe them to be a great band worthy of their soon entrance into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but others may not agree. This forms the basis of not only blogs but also opinionated writing. I use my blog as an example but all of the blogs I covered provided insight into economic and political issues effecting the world. All the authors of these blogs also established a position on the topics they covered to a certain extent.
Blogs are a great way to share an opinion on virtually anything . It can be more professional based or just a casual writing piece. Either way blogs are a great way to express an opinion, I learned this first hand with writing my blogs over the last month. Blogs carry a great value and will continue to exist and give people interesting points and positions on various issues.
Clearly expressed.
