To me, blogs are just another form of internet chat rooms. They're similar in a couple of ways:
1. Some of the people you're conversing with you only know through the internet and others you know personally.
2. You write something and someone responds to it.
3. You can plan on meeting them in person, but you don't really know who it is that will show up.
I've never really understood the attraction of chat rooms or blogs for that matter. I figure that if I want someone's opinion on something, I'll ask someone that I know and trust. I'll talk to friends, family, or my professor. So tell me, what attracts you to Blogs and chat rooms?
You lookin at me?

Scheren,
Until COMM. 396, I hadn't used blogging as a form of communication. I had never really been attracted to the Idea of it.
I am a pretty private person so for me to just write my feelings out for anyone to see would make me feel a bit uncomforable.
As for chat rooms, I have been in chat rooms, when I was in middle school! It was just a "thing" that kids did at the time, the Internet was fresh and new to everyone at that time. I can remember trying to get on to AOL to chat with my friends and it would take a half hour to be able to dial up to the Internet. It's just a phase, just like everything else.
