Wired Jounalists

http://themissinggoatfiles.blogspot.com/
Goat files blog impressed me a lot, this group showed much participation in their writing of which helped build the audience they have. Each writer of the blog valued their editorial judgement that enhanced for them to eventually share their own individual pieces. The blog provides the audience with a sense of urgency. The blog consists of information that is useful to the reader. The content of the blog is new in the level of a playing field environment where everyone has the same constraints. One gets the impression that the blog has become second nature to the writers; there are posts that are constantly updated with new information. Like any other tool the writers have made their blog useful. The blog shares resources and one is able to keep up with what’s going on. But some posts are not very satisfying for anything other than the blog being a one way communication. The blog headlines attract people to their blog. The writing is direct and tells a potential reader about each post. Some journalists have killer headlines but the content of the story is not strong enough. There are few posts that could stir up some controversy; some writers are very moronic they have some sort of dare to incite a little annoyance. The blog is short of specifics, the blog seems to be stuck on several versions. Other than that goat files is a very catchy blog!
