Yes They Can



For the last 10 years people all over the world have started to blog, I just discovered it myself. Some people have an addiction for blogging, which I can’t seem to understand. Most people I believe don’t have anything else to do (I’m sorry if I’m offending someone but it’s true). I for example have a purpose when I’m blogging it’s for my Pre-AP English class, but if you look at all the categories that a blog could have some are ridiculous in my eyes “confessional blogs, gossip blogs, sex blogs, mommy blogs… to name a few”. Sarah Boxer in her piece blogs gives very good examples of people who are writing these inexplicable blogs waiting to be “followed” by other people. Looking for fame bloggers misinformed people who read their blogs “there are bloggers out there who will do practically anything—start rumors, tell lies, pick fights, create fake personas, and post embarrassing videos—to get noticed and linked to.”All these confessional blogs, gossip blogs and sex blogs I believe people make up to believe they have these eccentric and fun life’s, just look at big time blogger Perez Hilton he lives with his mom and dies his hair of various colors. Respected columnist, reporters, and journalist are being replaced by bloggers “anyone with a computer and Internet access could start a blog”.
