Activity 9-Sharmaine Dais

For this Activity, I decided to look up some other blogs about Urban Life and put out the word about our blog. I "googled" "Urban Life Blogs" and what I found where a wide variety of blogs, which really surprised me. The first blog I read was at http://thisurbanlife.blogspot.com. This blog was one that was written by people in Philadelphia, PA. The blog had mostly pictures about art and drawings. The last blog posted, the author said that he would be on a trip to Guatemala so that there would not be any posts for awhile. The blog was very different. The second blog I looked at was at http://www.urbanlifeblog.com. This blog takes is written by Gene Urban and Ron Urban in Phoenix, Arizona. This blog was very different from the one I write. The blog was about real estate, housing, market analysis, news& events, and restaurant reviews. The third blog I read was http://urbanlife-firstchurch. blogspot.com. The blog was written by Kathryn Ransdell from Dallas, Texas. This is a religious blog. The last post was September 3,2008 because they moved to http://urbanlifeonline.com. The fourth blog I saw was at http://undressingher.com. The blog is about urban sexually. They have articles about unwanted pregnancy, "baby mama drama," Good sex, and "sextexting." The last blog I saw was at www.flawlesshustle.com. This blog was about hip-hop culture, videos, arts, fashion, technology, news, interviews, and new music. These blogs were very different from the one I write. Their themes are very different also. They are more of a "social networking" type of blog, meaning that the stories on the blog do not use citation. They are just thoughts that people want to talk about. Nevertheless, it was very interesting to read these blogs.
