A Change of Pace

This weeks blog can be found at http://failblog.org/
This blog displays funny pictures and videos that "FAIL", and readers can submit their own posts. There is a section for comments, but the main objective is to provide humor generally geared towards youth in their late teens. The layout is large, and pictures are the main focus. Each picture is accompanied by the trademark "FAIL" in white block letters. Failblog is in association with "Cheezburger" and links can be found both at the top and bottom of the page.

Consider:
What is this blog attempting to convey?
Are there social messages associated with this blog?
What does the addition of the Facebook, Twitter and Digg tabs seem to suggest about the use of this blog and its audience?

ENJOY!

We Cool like That

Hey class! This week's blog is found at www.thecoolhunter.net

The blog is about captivating and breathtakingly innovative designs throughout global culture. It incorporates a substantial amount of fashion, food, music, art and various other categories; with a heavy emphasis on photography that streams an artistic light upon the blog as a whole. On thecoolhunter.net, one may find a plethora of potential vacationing spots, such as a New York coffee shop composed primarily of book cases.
Our group enjoyed the website's goal of publishing items that push the envelope in terms of making the seemingly impossible, possible. We hope you enjoy, and of course generate some compelling analysis, but if not at least look at the pictures they are SA-WEET.
