Five blogs... by Kate Lucas

1. http://www.usatoday.com/life/lifestyle/2009-06-09-status-writing-online_N.htm?csp=Tech – this is a blog by Maria Puente discussing how social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are used to tell people what you are doing. Maria Puente’s opinion is that the statuses are too short and pointless and how if you are going to update your status, you should make it interesting. I like it because it has a very good point about making status’ interesting. It goes on forever and repeats itself a bit.
2. http://www.quietlikehorses.com/ - this site is a series of blogs written by Sobrina Tung called The Quiet Horse about her husband who has been diagnosed with cancer. The blogs are quite personal and focused on the one theme. She writes them as if writing in a personal diary and they are very deep and meaningful.
3. http://www.ohmishka.blogspot.com/ - this is a series of general themed blogs written by Michelle called Oh Mishka. They are all generally about lifestyle, ranging from exercise to what Michelle was planning to do on her weekend.
4. http://melissabxoxo.blogspot.com/2009/07/return-of-redheads.html - this blog is written by Melissa Blake and how she wants to fit in with everyone else but thinks that because she has bright red hair and thousands of freckles that this will never happen. All in all, the blogger is constantly whinging throughout her story. And just because of her looks. As a redhead myself, I understand where she’s coming from, what with all the different names but I don’t think whinging in a blog is the way to solve your problems.
5. http://missus-emm.blogspot.com/ - this blog is written by Emm and is about her various trips overseas. This particular blog, called Emm in London is about how she went to see the War of The Worlds 30th anniversary live show. I wasn’t that interested in what she was writing about as she sort of went off track a bit towards the end.
