Where Have all the Boggers Gone?

Dr. David Gudelunas, came to speak to the ENW 350 Digital Writing class because he is experienced in the world of blogs. The thing most interesting to learn about Gudelunas is that he himself doesn’t have his own blog. He is just an avid blog reader. Dr. Gudelunas posed a question during his lecture asking “Why people aren’t blogging?”

He stood in front of a class of twenty or so students who were in the beginning stages of creating their own blogs and barely any of them had ever had a blog before this class, or do any of them continuously read any blogs. This does seem strange. We live in a world where a new blog is created about every second, there are over 80,000 blogs created daily. So where are all these bloggers?

Blogging has definetly made its way into the mainstream. There is a huge billboard for blogging from At&t on I-95 in Connecticut and it’s even become a new fashion trend. If this is the case how could there be an entire class of students who aren’t blogging?
