ASSIGNMENT 3 - DEADLINE 13 August 2009 16h00

HERE ARE THE BLOG SITES YOU HAVE TO VISIT:
1. Look at the left hand column - see which blogs were most read, what they say, what comments they elicited:
http://www.thoughtleader.co.za/

2. One that topicalises the Swine Flu epidemic: read carefully, and remember - there are mostly at least two sides to a story - so if one says the whole thing is just pharmaceutical companies wanting to make a fast buck, there will be another that says hang on -- its a dangerous virus and it is costing some money to get the vaccine out!

Question 1
For each of the 6 sites that are listed here you have to tell me
-- who is the blogger - who does the site "belong to" -- and who is doing the writing.

Question 2
Give me a paragraph with a profile of ONE of the bloggers you have come across in these blogs.
DO NOT just cut-n-paste from their profile.
Write your own paragraph stating what it is in the person's profile that qualifies him/her best to do the work as blogwriter.
