I'm finding it hard to really grasp the point of a blog for someone like myself. I suppose for this class its core is supposed to represent a means for analyzing us all as writers, and for the outside world it could be another tool for us to be noticed by the people, but to me that idea seems just a realistic as a fantasy sports pickup. Kids dropping out of high school on the hopes that some NBA talent scout will just rip them off the street and thrust them into stardom.
That being said I see blogs have even less relevance then usual in my particular field of study, advertisement and marketing. Particularly in the video game media, many of the most important 'advertisements' come not from major sales or a pre-order numbers but rather from popular review. IGN, Gamefaqs, and Gamespot really corner the market in online gaming journalism. I really do need to look into whats expected of writers for the gaming world, and where exactly I can fit myself into the equation.
