I am going to react to bullet four, on whether or not writing can be generated online. Coming from a journalistic stand point, I say yes. This is the new generation, non-print media. What are we doing in this class? Writing online. Blogging our thoughts, feelings, opinions. Instead of picking up a paper to read, people get online to read quick headlines, and flip through photos in just a couple seconds. I don't know if I like this new online writing, but it's what is to come. This is like when photography made the transition from film to the digital era. It all takes some getting used to and time to work out how it will reach an audience. Here's a great example: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/ Here you can get photos of the day, long term photo stories, and get different links instantly.
Now onto why blogs are way cool as opposed to a normal journal... did ya click the link above? That allows the reader to visually explore and understand what I am talking about in my post. a-w-e-s-o-m-e.
