3 Blog Reviews

The first blog I'm reviewing is called The Lost Blog (http://www.lostblog.net/). Although the vague title could refer to a number of things, this specific blog chronicles and analyzes the many episodes of the hit TV show "LOST." Now unlike most Lost fans and especially bloggers, this particular author does not voice his opinion too often, nor does he make outlandish predictions about what will happen next. Finally, he does not attempt to add his own explanation for the many abnormal events that occur on the show. This is a positive aspect, I believe. The show simply takes too many twists and leaves too many unanswered questions for one single individual to figure it all out. Instead, the author simply recaps the events of previous episodes and puts together answers based on what happened in earlier episodes. However, the author's blog is rather short, and could easily use some additional content and analysis. Other than that, the Lost Blog, when it comes to reviewing television, is quite appropriate, professional, and well written.

The next blog I checked out was The Health Care Blog (http://www.thehealthcareblog.com/). Unlike the Lost Blog, this was much more scholarly. By this, I mean I had some trouble understanding what was being discussed about half the time. Now, this is by no means a negative aspect, I'm simply stating that there is much different target audience compared to the Lost Blog. Now, I have only recently started reading blogs, and I had always imagined them being highly opinionated in nature. However, this particular blog was more like a well written, unbiased news article. Also, there was not a single author, it was open to whomever wished to post. This blog was very interesting and well read, but a little boring for my taste.

My final blog review is from Aural Life, and it discusses the NBC "Late Night controversy" (http://aurallife.blogspot.com/2010/01/nbcs-late-night-controversy-im-with.html). This was a fantastic blog, it must be said! Although this is relatively old news at this point, this blog is loaded with information. I thought that I knew most of what was going on with the whole Conan/Leno situation, but this blog provided me with even more knowledge. I now know that Leno will actually be resuming his role as host of the Tonight Show, rather than simply changing time slots. Furthermore, the author actually provided his opinion, which I always enjoy reading. Without an opinion, it's just news.
