a) When looking at blogs that have been going on for years, in my opinion it is more than an online conversation it is more like an online version of the persons thoughts, things do not always follow a particular order such as found in everyday conversations. Some of the material posted can be very random (extremely random at times)
b) Depending on the type of blog being created determines how people will ‘speak’ in it, my blog for new media cultures contains a more formal structure of thought and a lot more thought goes into my sentence construction as compared to if the blog wasn’t intended for academic work it would contain much more informal language and more free flow thought rather than structured sentences. In a seminar formality is still required maybe (depending on who is conducting the seminar) the way people put information on their blogs is the way they would speak in a seminar. In an essay very formal and grammatical address is needed as it is part of the assessment. In blogs we take turns by waiting for someone to comment on the information presented and we can respond after that comment
c) The computer in general cuts down on what is considered to be ‘interaction’ so to speak, sure people can leave comments and feedback can be left on the blog it still lacks that personal touch that face to face has. Points can be expressed more clearly and meaning has less of a chance if being mistaken for something else
d) As with everything time management is essential, if careful planning is conducted it the tasks can be completed
