There are many differences between a blog and a book. One of the main ones, I would say, is the fact that a book you can only read "between their covers", which means you just read the book without going any other place. However, a blog has links, which never finish, so you can go from one window to another, and browse the internet on many different topics. Also, blogs are short entries, while books are long, and take time to write. Another difference is that blogs are completely on - line, and books are hard, material copies. On top of all of this, blogs use short abbreviations and 'emoticons', things that would never be used in books.
B. How have blogs changed recently?
Some time ago, bloggers didn't post much commentary, and were very different to now - a - day bloggers. All of this changed in 1999, when many blogs were created, and the most important, FREE blog was made: blogger. From then on, blogs became very popular, and since they were so easy to create, everybody made them. This was when blogs changed the most. They weren't "web - filters" anymore, they became mostly about opinions and revelations. The new bloggers only cared about fame and being recognized, and they only created links that led you to new blogs (called inbound links).
C. Why might you read a blog?
I would read a blog to get more information and different opinions on a certain topic. For example, if I really like certain movie, I would read a blog on that movie.
D. Is there reason to doubt the objectivity of a blog? Why? Why not?
There is complete reason to doubt the objectivity of a blog. There is basically no objectivity in a blog because people only write opinions.
E. If you kept your own blog, what would you title it?
I would title it "FAVORITE MOVIES" because if I had a blog, it would be about movies, and everyone would talk about their favorite movies.
