One thing that I learned from the chapter is just how popular blogs are. Frauenfelder mentions that the webisite Technorati.com tracks over 57 million blogs and adds over 100,000 new blogs a day, which turn into over 1.3 million new entries every day. I also didnt know that blogging has been around for as long as it has, in the book it says that blogging originated back in 1996 with Xanga.com. Something else I learned is that you can actually speed up the playback of podacasts by using quicktime. The other thing that I didnt know before reading this chapter is that Wikipedia gets sort of a reputation of not always provinding completely accurate information. Frauenfelder says that you should always find a second source to confirm what Wikipedia says.
QUESTIONS
1.) No I have never created a website
2.)No I do not reguarly visit any blogs
3.)Personally, I do not just because I'm really not that interested in reading someones opinion about something when I dont know what qualifiactions they have to provide an accurate account to whatever it is that they are talking about
4.)No
5.)No
6.)Yes, for a few different courses in college
